Talk:International healthcare accreditation

message: Dear all
I would be grateful if this article about international healthcare accreditation could be considered for inclusion in Wikipedia.
There are already substantial articles about JCI/Joint Commission International (one of a number of such accreditation schemes, American in this case) and about medical tourism (international healthcare accreditation is a vital component in the safety of medical tourism for patients worldwide).
I believe that an article about international healthcare accreditation is needed therefore. there will no doubt be a substantial number of experts in this area who would be prepared to contribute to this.  In addition, this article has, for the first time, given exposure to accreditation groups which are not USA-based (e.g. Australian, Canadian and British). 
Can I add that without an article to broaden the knowledge base on the sunject of international healthcare and hospital accreditation, one might be forgiven for thinking, given the currently available content in Wikipedia, that only the USA (in the form of JCI) was responsible for providing these vital services to the international community. 
Many thanks for all your help.

message: Dear Oscarthecat,
Thank you for looking at this article.
I would be grateful if you would take another look at the "International Healthcare Accreditation" article.  It has had some re-drafting to take in to account your comments, and more references and citations have been given, especially in relation to the variation in people's expectations of healthcare systems in different parts of the world.
It is not original research.  It deals with an issue that affects millions of people worldwide, namely are hospitals safe to go into, and international healthcare accreditation can mean the difference between life and death !  
There has been little balance to date within Wikipedia regarding this subject - there is an article on "Joint Commission International", which only presents the US-sourced approach to this problem as the principle way of dealing with it, with the options from other parts of the world only present as "add-ons".  There is also an article on Medical Tourism, which is a bit scanty when it comes to safety amd quality issues.
I was advised by "Ryanjo", a US physician and a Wikipedia editor, to write an article on International Healthcare Accreditation in response to some dialogue on the JCI article, so I have complied !
I suspect that there will be people keen to amend content once the article is disseminated to a wider audience !!!!
Thanks for you trouble.

thread_title:  Message to oscarthecat regarding this article and the justification for this article 

message: The subject covered by this article is an important subject, with wide interest in the subject internationally.  There are a lot of references around the internet to accreditation and the the organisations which do this work.  I can't see why there should be a problem of this type here.  I can't se how this is original research either.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.40 (talk) 13:48, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why a notability problem ? 

message: This section seems to require cleanup. The lead section doesn't even mention the topic. It rambles on and on about healthcare standards like it wants to make a point or something. I don't even know what this article is about. — OranL (talk) 16:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
