Your care has been independently assessed.

International healthcare standards applied to the systems behind your dental care.

JCI assessed the processes supporting patient identification, treatment safety, infection prevention, medication management and aftercare. When you travel for treatment, independent verification matters.

What is JCI?

Joint Commission International (JCI) is a non-profit international healthcare accreditation organisation. It assesses clinics against defined standards for patient safety, infection control, medication, clinical care and how the organisation is managed.

What JCI means for your care

Six international patient safety goals, built around one person: YOU. Every one of them was assessed at Dentakay.

  1. Correct patient identification

    What this means for you

    Your identity is confirmed before every step of care.

    What JCI checks

    At least two personal details are checked before imaging, medication or treatment.

  2. Clear communication

    What this means for you

    Your care team works with the same, up-to-date information.

    What JCI checks

    Important information and test results are shared clearly between teams and stages of care.

  3. Medication safety

    What this means for you

    High-risk medications are handled with extra care.

    What JCI checks

    Storage, prescribing and administration follow defined safety checks.

  4. Procedure safety

    What this means for you

    Right patient. Right tooth. Right procedure.

    What JCI checks

    Your identity, planned treatment and treatment site are confirmed before the procedure begins.

  5. Infection prevention

    What this means for you

    Every visit follows clear infection-control steps.

    What JCI checks

    Hand hygiene and the cleaning, sterilisation and storage of instruments are controlled.

  6. Fall prevention

    What this means for you

    Extra support helps reduce your risk of falling.

    What JCI checks

    Fall risks are assessed so support, safe surfaces or other precautions can be provided.

These six goals are defined by Joint Commission International, not by us. They are the same standards applied to accredited hospitals and clinics worldwide.

The difference JCIJCI Accredited Quality Approval badge makes

Non-JCI-accredited clinic vs JCI-accredited Dentakay

Without Independent accreditation
Verified JCI-accredited Dentakay
  1. Without independent accreditation

    You rely on the clinic’s own standards.

    JCI-accredited Dentakay

    Dentakay’s standards were checked by independent JCI surveyors.

  2. Without independent accreditation

    You mainly hear what the clinic says about its care.

    JCI-accredited Dentakay

    Surveyors observed daily practices and spoke directly with the team.

  3. Without independent accreditation

    It may be difficult to confirm whether written procedures are followed.

    JCI-accredited Dentakay

    Patient records, infection control and clinical processes were reviewed.

  4. Without independent accreditation

    Quality and safety are checked internally.

    JCI-accredited Dentakay

    Risks, incidents and improvements are monitored through a structured system.

Why we chose to be independently assessed.

For patients who place their trust in us before they even arrive.

At Dentakay, quality is not the responsibility of one department; it belongs to everyone. We saw JCI as a chance to recognise our gaps, learn from them and improve how we care for our patients. As I always say, competent staff means safer patients.

How Dentakay was assessed

JCI checked whether what we say about safety actually happens in daily care.

  1. They watched patient care

    Patient journeys were followed from assessment and consent through treatment, recovery and follow-up.

  2. They spoke to the team

    Clinical and support staff explained their responsibilities, daily checks and responses to safety risks.

  3. They checked the records

    Patient files and clinical records were compared with written procedures and the care being delivered.

  4. They checked the clinic systems

    Infection control, medication, equipment, emergency readiness and quality processes were examined.

These are only the main areas. The full assessment covered patient care and clinic-wide systems.
