Stratex Medica provides consulting for organizations’ accreditation-readiness and implementation processes. Accreditation assessment and decisions belong solely to TÜSKA.

THE RIGHT PATH, THE RIGHT START

Let's Clarify the Correct Scope First.

Not every organization holding an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate follows the same assessment pathway. The official operating-license type and authorization record—not the trade name—are determinative.

Do you hold an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate?

CORPORATE VALUE

This is not a Quality Unit Project, but a Corporate Management Program.

More than completing documents: management visibility, departmental ownership, implementation discipline, and sustainable internal capacity.
01

Management visibility

See ready, critical, and overdue areas on a single readiness map.

02

resource priority

Direct teams and budget toward areas with the greatest implementation and evidence risk—not toward document volume.

03

Interdepartmental ownership

Bring quality, clinical services, HR, IT, facilities, and international patient teams into a shared operating cadence.

04

Internal capacity

Build sustainable in-house capability for self-assessment, internal audit, CAPA, and performance monitoring.

REAL READINESS VIEW

Files May Appear Ready. So, is the Institution Really Ready?

  1. 01Has the applicable standards set and official assessment pathway been clearly established?
  2. 02Does the self-assessment result align with actual on-site practice?
  3. 03Can it be demonstrated that documents are current, approved, and accessible to staff?
  4. 04Are there sufficient implementation records and retrospective evidence alongside the policies?
  5. 05Are the owner of critical findings, closing date and activity control clear?
  6. 06Do shifts, units and locations apply the same process consistently?
  7. 07Do internal audit and tracing activities reflect the real evaluation method?
  8. 08Does the international patient process proceed seamlessly between systems and teams?

IS YOUR ORGANIZATION READY?

ContinuityDiscuss scope

Four to eight or more weeks is the estimated delivery window for the Stratex Medica consultancy programme. Actual duration varies according to the organization’s scope, current level of preparation and evidence, team availability, and the official assessment schedule. This timeframe is not a commitment that accreditation will be completed.

NOT A CLAIM—A WORKING SYSTEM

Institution-specific, application-oriented and privacy-sensitive.

  • Structured around the operating license, service scope, and current operations
  • Beyond documentation: on-site implementation, records, and team ownership
  • An action system visible to management and practical for operational units
  • Preliminary assessment and controlled information sharing without collecting patient data

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Clear answers about scope, date and preparation.

Last updated: 21 August 2026
01For which healthcare organizations is TÜSKA accreditation valid?

Hospitals, medical centers, medical laboratories, and dialysis centers holding an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate follow the TÜSKA accreditation pathway. Other authorized healthcare facilities may follow the Ministry certification pathway. The exact pathway must be determined by verifying the operating-license and authorization scope.

02Who does the date 31 December 2026 cover?

The date concerns completion of the accreditation or certification process applicable to each organization type holding an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. It is not a general TÜSKA deadline for every healthcare organization.

03Is it sufficient to apply by the end of the year?

The official announcement requires the applicable accreditation or certification process to be completed by 31 December 2026. The readiness plan should not be based on the application date alone.

04Should the practice or polyclinic receive TÜSKA accreditation?

If an organization is not licensed as one of the four facility types within TÜSKA’s current scope, it will generally follow the Ministry certification pathway. The official operating license and authorization record—not the trade name—determine the applicable pathway.

05How long does the TÜSKA preparation process take?

There is no single standard duration. Organization size, service scope, location, current systems, available evidence, team access, and the official timetable all affect timing. Stratex Medica’s 4–8+ week range refers to the consulting engagement only.

Whatdoes the 064–8+ week program cover?

Scope verification, gap analysis, governance, priority process and document development, teamwork, evidence systems, internal audit, tracer activities, and pre-assessment readiness are structured around the organization’s needs.

07Is it enough to just prepare the documents?

No. In addition to document review, the assessment approach includes observation, interviews, record review, and tracer methodology. Documents must be supported by on-site implementation and reliable historical evidence.

Are08SKS and SAS the same thing?

No. SKS is the Ministry’s healthcare quality standards system; SAS comprises the standards used in TÜSKA accreditation. Existing SKS work may support readiness, but it does not by itself constitute TÜSKA accreditation.

09Does SAS Hospital v4 affect the current preparation program?

SAS Hospital v4 takes effect on 1 January 2027. Hospital projects that may extend into 2027 should plan for the v4 transition now.

10Does Stratex Medica guarantee accreditation?

No. Stratex Medica strengthens the organization’s readiness, implementation, and evidence systems. Formal assessment, accreditation scope, and accreditation decisions rest solely with TÜSKA’s authorized bodies.

11Is the current situation analysis an official TÜSKA preliminary audit?

No. The analysis is a Stratex consulting engagement that helps the organization manage its readiness; it is not an official assessment, score, or eligibility decision.

12What information should we bring to the first meeting?

Organization type, operating-license and authorization status, service and location scope, current self-assessment work, application stage, and management objective are sufficient for initial guidance. Do not share patient data.
