GHA For Medical Travel

GHA’s flagship program is designed for healthcare organizations aiming to elevate patient experience for medical travelers while significantly enhancing the productivity and business performance of their medical travel programs. Achieving GHA Accreditation demonstrates that the hospital or ambulatory center (including dental clinics) has successfully implemented best practices as outlined in the GHA Standards 5.0, which are accredited by ISQUA EEA. This accreditation focuses on three main competencies: Patient Experience, Sustainable Business Practices, and Patient-Focused Clinical Processes. The prestigious GHA accreditation seal serves as a powerful validation of your commitment to excellence, ensuring patients and stakeholders recognize your facility as a leader in medical travel services.

GHA Certification for Excellence in Medical Travel Patient Experience

The Certification for Excellence in Medical Travel Patient Experience is designed to empower hospitals and ambulatory centers, including dental clinics, in elevating patient satisfaction and building sustainable business practices. This certification serves as an invaluable asset for organizations seeking to enhance patient experiences and establish credibility, especially if they lack existing national or international accreditations. It is a robust stand-alone program or can serve as a strategic stepping stone towards attaining full GHA accreditation in the future.

GHA Telehealth Accreditation

GHA Telehealth Accreditation is a pioneering initiative aimed at benchmarking and ensuring excellence in the rapidly evolving telehealth industry. Founded on rigorous standards, the program focuses on three core competencies: enhancing the patient experience, delivering exceptional patient care processes, and promoting sustainable and ethical business practices in telehealth. By aligning with these competencies, organizations can not only elevate the quality of their telehealth services but also build trust and credibility with their patient base. GHA Telehealth Accreditation is available to any health organization (companies, physicians or nursing practices, hospitals, clinics, healthcare systems) that delivers telehealth services.

GHA Advanced Infection Prevention and Control Accreditation

GHA’s Infection Prevention and Control Accreditation aims to demonstrate a healthcare organization’s commitment to maintaining the highest global standards for internal as well as external threats, including infectious and non-infectious diseases, hospital-associated infections, surgical site infections, and antimicrobial resistance. Our rigorous standards and guidelines help healthcare facilities implement and elevate best practices in infection prevention and control, thus ensuring patient safety, protecting healthcare workers, and minimizing the risk of infectious disease outbreaks.

Evolving to Meet the Needs of Our Clients

COVID-19 and its dramatic and lasting impact on organizations in many industries across the globe inspired GHA to evolve its services to better meet the needs of organizations for safety, health, and well-being as they navigate a rapidly evolving landscape to a ‘New Normal’. No longer is healthcare the sole industry prioritizing health safety; employers from all industries see a clear mandate to facilitate employee safety and overall well-being.

Our channels for service delivery have also evolved, from primarily offering services onsite, to a now robust and integrated virtual model providing greater access to our experts and even more value-driven services. As a result of the pandemic, patients, travelers, employees, and consumers are turning to trusted sources for services as safety increasingly becomes a brand differentiator.

GHA is supporting organizations through training, consultancy, and third-party accreditation to help build confidence and trust on the part of their clients and employees.
