Abstract
Accreditation of health services is one of the criteria for achieving the predetermined standards for health organizations. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic study was to investigate the primary health care (PHC) accreditation programs in the world and compile a summary of these programs in order to identify the areas and dimensions of these standards. This systematic review was conducted on online database studies, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using comprehensive terms. The inclusion criteria included all qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method studies published in any language from 1990 to December 2022. The studies were evaluated with Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools (JBI) critical appraisal tools checklist, and finally, the data were analyzed using the framework analysis method. The findings of 10 studies that were included in this study cover four main topics regarding the functions of the health system: stewardship, resource production, financing, and service delivery, as well as 10 sub-topics: policy making, interdepartmental leadership, monitoring and evaluation, human resources, equipment and medicine, information management, gathering of financial resources, capacity to provide services, access, and quality of services. In the accreditation of PHC, in addition to paying attention to performance indicators, indicators such as satisfaction and rights of clients and employees, access, information technology, coordination, integration of care, financing, and management of resources and equipment should also be considered.
卫生服务的认证是卫生组织达到预定标准的标准之一。因此,本系统研究的目的是调查世界上初级卫生保健(PHC)认证计划,并编制这些计划的摘要,以确定这些标准的领域和维度。本系统综述是对在线数据库研究进行的,包括PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和谷歌Scholar,使用综合术语。纳入标准包括1990年至2022年12月期间以任何语言发表的所有定性、定量和混合方法研究。采用Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools (JBI)关键评估工具清单对研究进行评估,最后采用框架分析法对数据进行分析。本研究纳入的10项研究的结果涵盖了与卫生系统职能有关的四个主要主题:管理、资源生产、融资和服务提供,以及10个子主题:政策制定、部门间领导、监测和评价、人力资源、设备和药品、信息管理、财政资源收集、提供服务的能力、获取和服务质量。在初级保健认证中,除了关注绩效指标外,还应考虑客户和员工的满意度和权利、可及性、信息技术、协调、护理一体化、资金筹措、资源设备管理等指标。
