Lebanon’s plan to acquire an external assessment from Accreditation Canada is a great idea since the external organization can provide an unbiased and honest opinion and does not have a hidden agenda. In addition, their international status will allow them to remain relatively immune to the possibility of corruption or political pressure. Accreditation Canada also seems like a good program since they apply a multi-disciplinary approach to the survey and reform process with physicians, nurses and health care executives among the many people working for them; this provides multiple opinions that can be combined to develop the best program for Lebanon. Most importantly, they state their main focus is patient safety and that’s what health care is all about.
This method will never work for the United States since we’re a country that prefers to look within to solve out programs rather than outside. We’re also a proud country and wouldn’t ask for help unless it truly became necessary; this is doubly true for a neighboring country that was have a tendency to look down upon. Would this method help us? Definitely, it never hurts to have multiple opinions on how to do something since our opinion might not always be the best. Will this happen? Probably not.
