Vinmec Times City Hospital, part of the Vinmec Healthcare System, has officially become a member of Cleveland Clinic Connected, Cleveland Clinic's global network of hospitals (USA). As the second hospital in the world to join this top-tier global healthcare network, Vinmec continues to assert its strategy of international expansion, aiming to bring world-class treatment quality and global standards right in Vietnam.
Cleveland Clinic is one of the largest nonprofit academic healthcare systems and is among the top healthcare providers worldwide. Cleveland Clinic currently operates 22 hospitals and over 220 outpatient facilities globally. For many years, the system has consistently been honored in the U.S. News & World Report's "Best Hospitals in the U.S." and was ranked in Newsweek's "World's Best Hospitals 2022."
With the goal of building a network that brings together hospitals and healthcare organizations sharing the vision of providing the best treatment quality and care for patients, Cleveland Clinic launched the Cleveland Clinic Connected system to address the urgent need for improved healthcare quality worldwide, particularly after the pandemic.
To join Cleveland Clinic's global hospital network, hospitals must undergo a rigorous evaluation process covering clinical expertise, patient safety protocols, customer experience, governance models, and the work environment. Additionally, hospitals must share the same goals as Cleveland Clinic in delivering the highest standards of care and patient safety.
By joining Cleveland Clinic Connected, Vinmec's team of specialists and healthcare professionals will have access to training programs to enhance their expertise within the top global healthcare system or through remote learning. Moreover, the team will gain access to best practices and processes that have been developed and implemented at Cleveland Clinic facilities worldwide. In special cases, Vinmec's experts may consult directly with Cleveland Clinic specialists during the treatment process.
Dr. Tom Mihaljevic, President and CEO of Cleveland Clinic, and CEO of the Morton L. Mandel Foundation, shared: “We are honored to welcome Vinmec Times City as the first member of Cleveland Clinic Connected in Southeast Asia. Cleveland Clinic defines its mission as providing the best quality care and treatment to patients, no matter where they live, because everyone deserves to receive high-quality healthcare services. That is why we collaborate with hospitals and healthcare systems worldwide, sharing a common vision and mission, to gradually fulfill that commitment.”
Experts from Cleveland Clinic will work closely with member facilities to ensure adherence to the highest standards in delivering treatment and patient care services. At the same time, the system will enhance operational efficiency, support professional development, and provide training for all clinical and non-clinical staff at the hospitals.
Ms. Lê Thúy Anh, CEO of Vinmec Healthcare System (Vingroup Group), stated: "Becoming one of the members of the global network initiated by Cleveland Clinic not only confirms Vinmec's position in Southeast Asia and Asia but also marks an important milestone in our journey towards international expansion. With support from an excellent healthcare system like Cleveland Clinic, Vinmec Times City will continuously standardize its practices to deliver world-class medical examination and treatment quality right here in Vietnam for all customers."
Before being officially recognized as a member of Cleveland Clinic Connected, Vinmec had already asserted its international-quality standards with a series of world-renowned certifications, including: JCI certification - the world's strictest standard for hospital quality and patient safety; CAP certification from the American Society for Clinical Pathology for laboratory quality; AABB certification from the American Association of Blood Banks and Advanced Biological Therapies for Vinmec's tissue bank; ACC certification in heart failure management and coronary intervention - the leading standard for cardiovascular disease management and treatment in the US; and RTAC certification - the leading standard for reproductive support in the Asia-Pacific region.
