International approaches for implementing accreditation programs in different healthcare facilities: A comparative case study in Australia, Botswana, Denmark and Jordan.

This case analysis of accreditation programs in a variety of countries highlights consistent strategies utilised, key enabling factors, barriers, and the influence of contextual differences. Our framework for describing why, how, what, and lessons learned demonstrates innovation and experimentation in approaches used across high- and upper-middle-income countries, hospital and primary care and specialist clinics.
