Accreditation is a process to provide a visible commitment by an organization to improve the safety and quality of patient care, ensure a safe care environment, and continually work to reduce risks to patients and staff. It has gained worldwide attention as an effective quality evaluation and management tool. There are several famous organizations in many countries to accredit and certify the hospital quality worldwide such as Joint Commission International of USA., Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation of Canada, Health Services Accreditation of England, Australian Council on Healthcare Standards of Australia and Hospital Accreditation of Thailand.
