Penguatan Penerapan Standar Akreditasi Klinik melalui Evaluasi dan Pendampingan di Klinik Siti Walidah UMSI Kabupaten Sinjai

Abstract

Clinic accreditation is an important instrument for ensuring the quality of healthcare services and patient safety. As a newly established primary clinic, Siti Walidah UMSI Clinic in Sinjai Regency faces challenges in meeting accreditation standards, particularly in documentation, staff understanding, and quality management systems. This community service activity aimed to evaluate the clinic’s readiness for accreditation and provide technical assistance to strengthen its quality management system. The implementation used a participatory and educational approach through initial observation, document evaluation, assistance in developing and revising quality documents, document-tracing simulations, and formulation of quality improvement recommendations. The results showed that approximately 80% of the assessment elements were available; however, some had not been systematically documented, and several SOPs had not been updated according to the latest regulations. The assistance resulted in the establishment of an internal quality team, improvement of approximately 80% of policy and SOP documents, and increased staff understanding of accreditation and patient safety.
