Cleveland Clinic Achieves Global Healthcare Accreditation for Medical Travel

Services

Palm Beach Gardens, FL, October 16, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Cleveland Clinic
(https://my.clevelandclinic.org/), perennially ranked as one of the top hospitals in the US by U.S. News
and World Report, has been awarded a three-year term of Accreditation with Excellence by the Global
Healthcare Accreditation Program (http://globalhealthcareaccreditation.com/) for its Medical Destination
Program. Founded nearly a century ago, Cleveland Clinic has always lived at the leading edge of
innovation, and has been serving medical travel patients since its first day of operation. It has pioneered
many medical breakthroughs, including coronary artery bypass surgery and the first face transplant in the
United States. No less important, Cleveland Clinic has also led the way in putting patients first to improve
patient satisfaction. Cleveland Clinic was the first major academic medical center to make patient
experience a strategic goal, appoint a Chief Experience Officer, and one of the first to establish an Office
of Patient Experience.

Dr. Nizar Zein, Chairman Global Patient Services, Cleveland Clinic accepted a plaque recognizing
Cleveland Clinic's accreditation at the 10th World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress in
Los Angeles, California on October 2nd, 2017.

It's crucial to ensure patients' needs are met, especially those who travel for medical care. Each year we
receive patients from all 50 states and more than 125 countries. We chose Global Healthcare
Accreditation as it conducts a deep review of the entire Medical Travel Care Continuum, beginning when
the patient first enquires about our services all the way through their arrival back home, including the
patient experience at all touch points. Additionally, GHA reviews those sustainable business processes
and practices related to medical travel that have helped us identify areas of opportunity to enhance patient
experience and improve operational performance, stated Dr. Zein.

The Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) Program is an independent accrediting body that seeks to
improve the patient experience and excellence of care received by patients who travel for their medical
care and treatment, whether within their own country or internationally.

Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) represents an innovative approach to facilitating optimal


outcomes for both medical travel patients and the organizations who serve them, by focusing on patient
experience and sustainable business processes, and sharing best practices for medical travel destination
programs. Seeking GHA Accreditation for Medical Travel Services is a sound business strategy for
organizations serving medical travel patients as GHA strives to deliver both short and long term benefits
to organizations, providing a more immediate return on investment to organizations. As a leader in
precision, high quality healthcare, we welcome Cleveland Clinic to the GHA family, stated Karen
Timmons, Chief Executive Officer, Global Healthcare Accreditation.
