Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS) is advancing value‑based healthcare by securing global ICHOM certifications across its hospital network.
The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) is a globally recognised organisation dedicated to developing standardised outcome measures that matter most to patients. This certification reflects BDMS's commitment to advancing patient-centred care and delivering healthcare excellence aligned with the top international standards.
"These recognitions signify BDMS's enduring dedication to maintaining world-class standards of care through comprehensive, multidisciplinary and outcome-driven healthcare delivery," said Dr Pongtorn Kietdumrongwong, director of BDMS's project management.
By emphasising the measurement of patient outcomes before, during and after treatment, the ICHOM framework supports the continuous enhancement of clinical quality, long-term recovery, and sustainable quality of life.
In 2026, BDMS plans to achieve ICHOM Level 1 accreditation for 18 hospitals in its network. Seven already achieved Level 1 accreditation: Bangkok Heart Hospital (heart failure), Bangkok Hospital Phuket (heart failure), Bangkok International Hospital (stroke), Bangkok Hospital Sanam Chan (stroke), Bangkok Hospital Mueang Rat (stroke), Phyathai 1 Hospital (stroke) and Phyathai 2 Hospital (stroke).
In 2025, Bangkok Hospital Pattaya made history as the world's first hospital to achieve ICHOM Level 2 accreditation for both coronary artery disease and stroke, while also earning ICHOM Level 1 accreditation in heart failure and diabetes.
In addition, last year Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital became the world's first hospital to receive ICHOM Level 2 accreditation for breast cancer.
Guided by the principles of value-based healthcare, hospitals across the BDMS network integrate advanced medical technologies, personalised care pathways and continuous health outcome monitoring to ensure that every stage of care is centred on the needs and quality of life of each patient.
Dr Pongtorn said this holistic approach not only enhances clinical effectiveness and long-term recovery, but also empowers patients to regain independence and return to their daily lives with confidence and dignity.
Through these achievements, BDMS continues to elevate Thailand's healthcare standards on the global stage while advancing sustainable healthcare excellence grounded in meaningful patient outcomes, he said.
