JCI Reaccreditation Consulting

“Sustaining International Standards While Strengthening Long-Term Organizational Performance ”

 

Expert consultant with a proven track record at ca. 15 hospitals in Japan and abroad will support your organization in maintaining JCI accreditation with confidence.

For hospitals that have already achieved JCI accreditation, the reaccreditation process presents a different set of challenges.

JCI standards are updated every few years to reflect advances in healthcare quality, patient safety, governance, technology, and global expectations.

 

This means:

  • Meeting all standards at the time of first accreditation does not guarantee compliance today.

  • Documentation, records, training, and KPI/QI processes may no longer align with the intent of the most recent standards.

 

In addition, hospitals often experience:

 

  • Staff turnover and organizational restructuring that lead to a loss of institutional knowledge

  • Gradual “procedural erosion,” where compliance weakens because processes no longer fit daily operations

 

 

Therefore, reaccreditation requires more than checking items off a list—

it demands a system-wide realignment to bring the entire organization back into harmony with the latest JCI expectations.

 

Afya Management and Innovation provides comprehensive support tailored to these unique challenges, helping hospitals maintain the quality required for JCI while simultaneously strengthening operational and financial performance.

 

 

Our Approach to JCI Reaccreditation

 

― What Makes Afya Management and Innovation Different ―

 

 

 

1. Precise Diagnosis of “Operational Drift” Against Updated Standards

After three years, many hospitals unknowingly deviate from the original requirements.

We evaluate how closely your current operations align with the intended function of each updated standard and identify gaps with clarity and accuracy.

 

2. Comprehensive Redesign of Policies, Procedures, Training, and Committees

We go beyond rewriting documents.

Our focus is on real-world operational effectiveness and building processes that work reliably in daily practice.

 

Our support includes:

  • Updating policies & procedures

  • Reviewing training systems

  • Redesigning KPI/QI frameworks

  • Improving internal audit structures

  • Updating record-keeping methods (including digital transformation where appropriate)

 

All redesign is fully customized to your organization’s size, structure, and culture.

 

3. Integrating “Quality × Management” for Sustainable Growth

Afya’s greatest strength lies in combining:

JCI Accreditation Expertise × Healthcare Management Consulting Expertise

 

This enables us to redesign JCI-related KPI/QI frameworks so they serve not only as quality indicators but also as management indicators linked to Operational efficiency, Revenue growth, and/or Productivity improvement

Reaccreditation becomes more than compliance—it becomes a catalyst for organizational and financial improvement.
