Abstract

Background and Aim: Accreditation as an external assessment model is considered a key program for evaluating health care organizations. The new health service Accreditation system in Iran seems to lack the necessary standards for evaluating outpatient services and General Clinics. The objective of this study was to design, based on the experiences of other countries, a model for Accreditation of General Clinics in Iran Materials and Methods: This research was a qualitative review study conducted in two phases First, the methods and standards of Accreditation of General Clinics of selected countries were identified through a comparative review. In the second phase, the conceptual framework of the Accreditation of these clinics was developed by an expert panel. Results: The proposed framework for the Accreditation of clinics starts with registering the application in the system and updating the information. After the clinic's self-evaluation and external evaluation, amendments will be made. The key areas proposed for the Accreditation of clinics included management and leadership, information management, process management, human resource management, salaries, and operational results. The country's clinics can be ranked in five levels, namely, excellent, good, average, poor, and substandard. Conclusion: Considering the processes and areas determined in this study and the lack of a systematic approach, the proposed Accreditation model could provide a scientific and practical method for the internal and external evaluating bodies to provide a relevant and valid evaluation of the general outpatient clinics in Iran.
