The Temos Difference
What’s in it for me?
We understand that pursuing accreditation is a strategic investment in quality and service improvement, staff development, patient safety, and the long-term success of the organization. At the same time, it’s entirely valid to ask: “What’s in it for me?”
For CEOs: Transforming entire organizations.
Chief Executive Officers who are committed to the Temos accreditation process through demonstrated leadership can transform the systems, processes, and culture of their hospitals and clinics. By engaging with the Temos team in a thorough assessment and integration of each aspect of clinical and nonclinical care, healthcare providers emerge stronger clinically, financially, and organizationally.
For CMOs: Improving the quality and outcomes of clinical care.
Chief Medical Officers lose sleep over malpractice, medical errors, near misses, and unhappy patients. Solving the problems that cause these issues through improved communication and documentation leads to data-driven decisions that result in better clinical outcomes. CMOs work collaboratively with Temos team members and assessors to create better systems and processes for improved medical services delivered by a more cohesive medical staff.
For CQOs: Measuring, collecting, analyzing, and utilizing relevant data.
Accreditation brings guidance to Chief Quality Officers to determine what must be measured, how data should be collected, improved analytic processes, and methods to utilize data analysis to create positive change. CQOs play a pivotal role in gathering, reviewing, and presenting relevant data to every department in the hospital or clinic. Temos accreditation shapes the approach to delivering what is needed to improve the clinical and nonclinical aspects of patient care.
For CFOs: Maximizing financial resources.
The Temos accreditation process can result in numerous financial benefits, recouping the investment involved. Temos accredited partners reap financial rewards through cost savings as well as income generation. Cost savings occur through increased efficiencies that avoid waste, reduce costs, and fill costly service gaps. Increased patient satisfaction leads to increased referrals that generate additional revenues. Accreditation attracts third-party business partners like insurance companies.
For International Patient Departments: Demonstrating commitment to the entire patient experience.
Accreditation of international patient services demonstrates a commitment to every step of the Healthcare Travel Continuum that maps the end-to-end patient journey. Patients demand and deserve attention to detail from initial contact through post-discharge follow-up. Temos accreditation validates the excellent services delivered by international patient departments, making the provider more competitive in the global marketplace.
