In treatment abroad, we introduced the first medical tourism code of practice for health care providers. The "code of practice for medical tourism" aims to encourage best practices of medical tourism through commitment to health care providers outside a voluntary code of practice.
Business practice standards and customer service in medical tourism indutry are variables. That said, but ....they are probably much higher than many critics of the industry. (In our recent survey of 650 medical tourists, 97 percent of patients find that they would be willing to travel abroad for treatment again).
The code is an opportunity for agencies and health care providers to reassure patients in treatment abroad they are adopting best practices to consider.
If the medical tourism industry continues to grow, it needs to adopt some common standards and practices. Therefore, the code of conduct for medical tourism. Health care providers and agencies who register in the code will be identified as a "recommended practice for medical tourism" and will be recognized at http://www.treatmentabroad.com/.
In addition to the vendors that are approved will be capable of displaying the accreditation mark treatment abroad on your site and patients will be able to access details of accreditation online.
To receive the accreditation, organizations are invited to demonstrate best practices in several areas that covers the provision of information, the patient experience and contractual terms, conditions and guarantees. The request shall be examined by an independent consultant.
We believe that this is a positive step forward for the industry and provides an opportunity for suppliers to demonstrate its commitment to best practices in dealing with patients from abroad.
