The Makati City local government announced on Monday, August 1, that the Ospital ng Makati (OsMak) has ranked the highest among all public hospitals in Metro Manila for Covid-19 response and management.
Makati City Mayor Abby Binay said that OsMak has achieved a score of 97/100 in the inspection and validation report conducted by the Health Facility Development and Enhancement Unit (HFDEU) of the Metro Manila Center for Health Development (MMCHD) under the Department of Health (DOH).
The report covers all local government and DOH health facilities in Metro Manila.
According to HFDEU, OsMak has rated 19/20 for Governance; 19/20 for Ethics and Patient's Rights; 15/15 Quality Measurement and Improvement; 20/20 for Patient Safety; 9/10 for Facility Safety and Emergency Management; 15/15 for Resource Management.
“Time and again, OsMak has set the benchmark for efficient, effective, and compassionate delivery of healthcare services. Our Makatizens can rest assured that OsMak follows the standards and protocols set by DOH as a tertiary care hospital. Maayos, ligtas, at sigurado ang mga serbisyong ibinibigay natin sa ating mga pasyente (The services we are giving to our patients are good, safe, and accurate),” Binay said.
The unit said that they have assessed OsMak's compliance with infection prevention and control (IPC) standards and protocols with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as with the Integrated Hospital Operations Management Program (IHOMP).
The program's target is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services through the creation and use of information for clinical, administrative, and monitoring purposes in hospitals and other health facilities.
Binay added that OsMak also had to accomplish and submit both IHOMP and IPC self-assessment forms and supporting documents prior to the validation.
