Overview

Develop the practical skills to plan, lead, conduct, report and follow up audits of medical tourism services against ISO 22525:2020.

Trace the medical tourist journey from initial enquiry through travel coordination, healthcare service interfaces, discharge, return travel and follow-up. Practise interviewing, document review, sampling, evidence evaluation, finding preparation and corrective-action follow-up.

The course assesses service conformity and coordination. It does not qualify participants to make clinical decisions outside their professional competence.

  • Map the medical tourist journey and identify service responsibilities and interfaces.
  • Prepare a risk-based audit plan, questions and sampling approach.
  • Evaluate information, communication, competence, handovers and partner coordination.
  • Trace sampled journeys and prepare evidence-based findings and reports.
  • Review corrective actions and recognise when clinical, legal or privacy expertise is required.
Audience
