Vinmec has the second hospital joining the Cleveland Clinic Connected system

With 2 hospitals joining the world's top healthcare system, Vinmec continues to affirm its international strategy to bring global treatment quality and standards right in Vietnam.

Vinmec Central Park officially becomes a member of the world's top healthcare system Cleveland Clinic Connected.

Cleveland Clinic is one of the largest, not-for-profit academic health systems in the world. Cleveland Clinic operates 23 hospitals and more than 276 outpatient facilities worldwide. For many years, the system has been named to the U.S. News & World Report list of “America’s Best Hospitals” and was ranked in the Newsweek list of “World’s Best Hospitals 2023.”

With the goal of building a network of hospitals and medical organizations that share a common vision of the best quality of treatment and care for patients, Cleveland Clinic has initiated the Cleveland Clinic Connected System to meet the urgent need to improve the quality of the medical industry around the world, especially after the pandemic.

Prof. Dr. Tran Van Thuan, Deputy Minister of Health, spoke at the signing ceremony on the afternoon of May 21.

To join Cleveland Clinic Connected, member hospitals around the world must adhere to the program’s core principles of patient safety, quality of care, continuous improvement, and patient experience. The Cleveland Clinic delegation also directly assessed the implementation at Vinmec Central Park, interviewed each member of the hospital’s leadership team, and independently discussed with physicians, nurses, and patients undergoing treatment.

After joining, experts from Cleveland Clinic and Vinmec Central Park will collaborate in key specialties such as oncology, cardiology, neurology, etc. to evaluate current operations and consult on how to apply operational processes and expertise according to Cleveland Clinic standards. At the same time, experts will jointly implement initiatives to bring excellent healthcare services to local customers.

Dr. Tommaso Falcone, Vice President and President, International and New Markets, Cleveland Clinic Health System shared at the event.

“Cleveland Clinic’s partnership with Vinmec Central Park is built on a solid foundation of understanding and sharing our vision with Vinmec Health System,” said Dr. Tommaso Falcone, Vice President and President of International and New Markets, Cleveland Clinic Health System. “Together, we are making positive changes in patient care, treatment, and experience. We are delighted to welcome Vinmec Central Park as a member of the Cleveland Clinic Connected network.”

Prof. Dr. Bui Duc Phu - Chairman of the Cardiovascular Program Management Board and Vice Chairman of the Clinical Advisory Board, Vinmec Healthcare System spoke at the ceremony.

Ms. Le Thuy Anh (General Director of Vinmec Healthcare System, Vingroup Corporation) said: “Becoming a member of the global network initiated by Cleveland Clinic not only affirms the quality of Vinmec's treatment and healthcare but also marks the journey to reach the international level, becoming a regional healthcare system of Asian stature. After Vinmec Times City became a member of Cleveland Clinic Connected in 2023, we continued to expand and were successfully assessed at Vinmec Central Park. With the support of an excellent healthcare system like Cleveland Clinic, Vinmec Central Park will continue to grow stronger, constantly standardize and improve its capacity to become the leading choice for world-class healthcare services in the region.”

Cleveland Clinic is one of the world's top-ranked, nonprofit academic health systems, operating 23 hospitals and more than 276 outpatient facilities worldwide.

Before Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Times City became the second hospital in the world to join Cleveland Clinic Connected from January 2023. After more than a year of cooperation, Vinmec Times City recorded significant improvements in Safety, Quality and Patient Experience (SQPE) by applying Cleveland Clinic's standard analysis and evaluation processes to detect and resolve the root causes of quality and safety issues.

In particular, Vinmec's Cardiovascular Center and Sarcoma Center have the support of Cleveland Clinic experts in coordinating the application of international standards to bring high treatment efficiency right in Vietnam. Experts from both Vinmec and Cleveland Clinic constantly exchange expertise, update new techniques as well as discuss clinical cases. For difficult cases received at Vinmec, patients can be consulted by Cleveland Clinic experts to make an accurate diagnosis, thereby deciding on the most optimal treatment regimen.
