Background and Aim: Hospital accreditation is “an external evaluation of a hospital’s structures, processes, outputs and outcomes by an independent professional accreditation body using pre-established optimum standards”. Accreditation is a strategy for ensuring the quality and, safety of hospital services. An accreditation program’s efficacy depends on the validity of its governance, methods, standards, and surveyors. The Iranian hospital accreditation program faces some challenges. This study aimed to identify the governance challenges of the Iranian hospital accreditation program and its solutions.
Materials and Methods: This qualitative study was performed using semi-structured interviews in 2019. Using a pluralistic evaluation approach, 151 policy makers, accreditation surveyors, hospital managers and staffs, and academics from the ministry of health, medical universities, hospitals and health insurance companies were purposively recuited and interviewed. Thematic analysis was used fordata analysis.
Results: Overall, 23 governance challenges were identified and were grouped into seven categories, i.e., organizational structure, organizational communication, policy making, planning, financing, stewardship and evalutation. Lack of independence, inappropriate organizational structure, resource shortage, senior managers’ mobility and turnover, weak internal and external communication, a compulsory accreditation program, insufficient knowledge of hospital accreditation, and lack of evaluation of the hospital accreditation were the main challenges. Establishing an accreditation council with four idependent scientific, accreditation, appeal and performance evaluation committes, piloting the accreditation program, proper planning, cascade education and training, allocating a specific budet for hospital accreditation, getting the ISQua accreditation certificate and public announcement of hospitals’ accreditation results were proposed as solutions to these challenges.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Taking a wide range of medications in Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients can lead to side effects and drug interactions. Therefore, the use of intelligent systems such as drug monitoring systems can help in the effective and timely treatment of MS disease. In this regard, the present study was conducted to design, development, and evaluation of the drug monitoring system for multiple sclerosis patients.
Materials and Methods: The present descriptive-developmental study was performed in four stages. In the first stage, by searching the library resources and valid guidelines, the minimum data set was determined and provided to neurologists and MS fellowships in the form of checklists for validation. Then the software was designed logically and coded based on the opinion of experts. In the last stage, the software was evaluated by end-users.
Results: The information elements in the software design were categorized into patient demographic information, medical history, clinical signs, imaging procedures, laboratory tests for ocrelizumab and fingolimod drugs, counseling, and treatment data. Finally, the performance of the drug monitoring system was evaluated with an average of 7.9 and was approved by users.
Conclusion: The results of software evaluation showed that the drug monitoring system can help general practitioners, neurologists, and MS fellowships in monitoring and follow-up of patients and lead to increased patient safety.
