Baptist Health International Cayman Islands, part of Baptist Health South Florida, has earned its third ‘Joint Commission International’ accreditation.
The accreditation recognises the organisation’s PET & CT Imaging Center, which provides advanced diagnostic imaging services to patients in the Cayman Islands and throughout the Caribbean, helping improve access to high-quality care closer to home.
The Center was awarded Joint Commission International’s Gold Seal of Approval® following a rigorous evaluation process that assessed compliance across a broad range of healthcare standards, including patient safety, staff qualifications and competency, quality improvement processes, patient education and emergency preparedness. Baptist Health International Cayman Islands first earned Joint Commission International accreditation in 2020 and is now celebrating its third consecutive accreditation cycle, demonstrating its continued commitment to clinical excellence and continuous improvement.
Dr. Rogelio E. Ribas, corporate vice president of Baptist Health International, said, “Maintaining Joint Commission International accreditation for a third consecutive cycle reflects our unwavering commitment to providing patients in the Cayman Islands and across the Caribbean with access to world-class diagnostic imaging services close to home. We are proud to continue advancing healthcare excellence in the region through innovation and patient-centered care.”
Equipped with advanced positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) technology, the Imaging Center offers state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services, supporting the early detection, diagnosis and monitoring of cancer, cardiovascular disease and a variety of other medical conditions. All scans are interpreted by Baptist Health board-certified radiologists based in the United States, providing patients with access to specialised expertise and the resources of Baptist Health’s internationally recognised clinical programmes. Since opening in 2019, the Center has helped reduce the need for patients throughout the Caribbean to travel abroad for specialised imaging services by expanding access to advanced diagnostic care closer to home.
Joint Commission International accreditation is recognised worldwide as a benchmark for healthcare quality and patient safety. The designation reflects an organisation’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care and continuous improvement.
