ABSTRACT

Healthcare is the foundation of any society, and it directly touches all people’s interests and wellbeing; therefore, healthcare-related policies and developments have always been important dimensions for policy makers, healthcare executives, clinicians, healthcare technology industries, and the general public. One of the most authoritative standards in Chinese healthcare is the Chinese Hospital Classification system launched by the National Health Commission of People’s republic of China. Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, was founded as a grass-root organization by a group of process engineers. After a bumpy journey toward mutual understanding and collaboration, joint commission international has firmly landed in China, and our promotion on the system capacity building and development of Chinese hospitals have served to help improving the quality of patient safety and healthcare services in China. Healthcare delivery is both high-tech and high-touch industry.
