Vinmec Times City is proud to be the first facility in Vietnam to receive the ADCARE certification, which is considered a testament to excellence in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of atopic dermatitis according to international standards.
ADCARE is a program under GA2LEN, one of the largest multidisciplinary networks funded by the European Union, aimed at developing and recognizing referral centers and centers of excellence for atopic dermatitis worldwide.
Notably, Vinmec is the first unit in Vietnam, second in Southeast Asia (along with Thailand), and seventh in Asia (alongside major institutions such as Mahidol University Hospital in Thailand, Hiroshima University Hospital in Japan, DY Patil University Hospital in India, etc.) to achieve this certification.
Achieving the ADCARE certification and joining the GA2LEN network has provided the Vinmec Times City Allergy Immunology Center with specialized support to enhance treatment effectiveness. Specifically, the center will offer regular training sessions on atopic dermatitis, ensuring that medical staff are well-versed in existing knowledge and quickly updated with new treatment methods.
As a result, patients can be confident that they will receive diagnosis, treatment, and disease management according to international standards, adhering to the 32 stringent criteria of GA2LEN.
Atopic Dermatitis Diagnosis According to International Standards
At Vinmec Times City, patients with atopic dermatitis will receive a comprehensive diagnosis and evaluation by doctors based on several factors, including:
- Diagnosis according to 3 levels of disease severity (mild, moderate, severe).
- Assessment of comorbid conditions, particularly allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies.
- Evaluation of the immune system and nutritional status.
- Assessment of disease consequences, including itch severity, impact on sleep, and quality of life.
From this, a highly personalized treatment plan will be developed to ensure the best post-treatment effectiveness, including medication type, dosage, and home care instructions.
International Standard Treatment
As a chronic condition, atopic dermatitis requires regular examination, treatment, and monitoring. Therefore, Vinmec Times City will accompany patients throughout their treatment at the center and for long-term home care.
In addition to direct consultations with specialists, patients will receive a free information package on atopic dermatitis to guide them alongside their doctor.
Vinmec Times City also organizes related clubs, providing opportunities for atopic dermatitis patients to share experiences and improve their knowledge. This allows patients to apply what they learn at home and become more proactive in managing their condition.
International Standard Disease Management
All patient records at Vinmec are stored in an electronic medical record system, so patients do not need to bring any documents for follow-up visits. Doctors can easily access their condition and provide appropriate advice for further treatment.
Additionally, the hospital has a quality management system, continuously assessing treatment effectiveness and patient satisfaction with updated data every month. This allows the hospital to develop plans to continually improve treatment effectiveness and patient satisfaction.
