Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital Achieves ICHOM Accreditation Level 1 for Colorectal Cancer Care
Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital has reaffirmed its medical excellence by achieving ICHOM Accreditation Level 1 for colorectal cancer care from the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), a global organization that advances value-based healthcare by focusing on patient-centered treatment outcomes through five key principles:
- Systematically collecting patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
- Using clinical outcomes to continuously improve the quality of patient care
- Supporting shared decision-making between doctors and patients, based on each patient's needs
- Integrating multidisciplinary collaboration across healthcare teams
- Benchmarking outcomes against both international and global standards
Between 2017 and 2026, Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital performed colorectal cancer screening and treatment through colonoscopy for 31,916 individuals, helping them stay free from colorectal cancer. The hospital has also demonstrated treatment outcomes that significantly exceed the quality benchmarks established by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
