Background and PurposeAccreditation is viewed to enhance the total quality of healthcare. The present study aims at assessing patients' perspectives toward the quality of emergency healthcare services at different hospitals with different characteristics in Jordan. The elements of patients' perception were aligned with the conceptual framework of Patient Centeredness Model.MethodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in four emergency departments from different healthcare sectors and accreditation statuses in Jordan. Less urgent/nonurgent, alert, and cooperative patients were identified directly after the completion of emergency treatment. The perspectives of patients about the quality of emergency services were evaluated by 10 domains articulated in a validated accident and emergency questionnaire.ResultsA total of 276 patients were enrolled in the study. Private sector scored higher in all assessment domains in both accredited and nonaccredited hospitals in comparison with the government sector. Accredited government hospitals scored higher in patients' evaluation for “doctor and nurse,” “investigations,” “pain,” and “overall respect of medical staff” domains than nonaccredited government hospitals. The overall experience was significantly different between accredited and nonaccredited government hospitals.Implications for PracticeQuality of emergency care services should be assessed through various dimensions related to patients' perspectives. Patients' perception toward the quality of emergency health services is evidently enhanced by accreditation especially in the government sector.

SummaryIn 1995, the management of the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf proposed to establish a total quality assurance (QA) system. A revised QA-system has been introduced stepwise in the department of nuclear medicine since 1997, and certification was achieved in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 on February 14,2001.The QA-handbook is devided into two parts. The first part contains operational (diagnostic and therapeutic) procedures in so-called standard operating procedures (SOP). They describe the indication of procedures as well as the competences and time necessary in a standardized manner. Up to now, more than 70 SOPs have been written as a collaborative approach between technicians and physicians during daily clinical routine after analysing and discussing the procedures. Thus, the results were more clearly defined processes and more satisfied employees.The second part consists of general rules and directions concerning the security of work and equipment as well as radialion protection tasks, hygiene etc. as it is required by the law. This part was written predominantly by the management of the department of nuclear-medicine and the QA-coordinator. Detailed information for the patients, documentation of the work-flows as well as the medical report was adapted to the QM-system. Although in the introduction phase of a QA-system a vast amount of time is necessary, some months later a surplus for the clinical workday will become available. The well defined relations of competences and procedures will result in a gain of time, a reduction of costs and a help to ensure the legal demands. Last but not least, the QA-system simply helps to build up confidence and acceptance both by the patients and the referring physicians.
