Most of all, KHIDI is witnessing rapid growth of global healthcare sector – especially in attracting international patients and exporting healthcare service providers along with healthcare systems. South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare established a dedicated department within the KHIDI in 2009 with an aim to aggressively promote Korea’s medical tourism and exporting healthcare service. By launching the “Medical Korea” brand in 2009 and hosting the Medical Korea Conference in 2010, KHIDI began to actively promote Korea’s medical services to the world. Driven by such strategic marketing activities, a survey in the first half of 2017 showed that 360,000 (810,000 on a yearly basis) international patients visited Korea. This 27% year-on-year increase marks the highest figure since 2009, and the growth rate has been on the rise every year at over 29% on average. Furthermore, 155 Korean healthcare providers expanded their service and system abroad. This is a valuable outcome we have earned through years of efforts on global advancement and outreach in this sector.

KHIDI will continuously put effort to create visible outcomes through actions so that Medical Korea can play a pivotal role in global healthcare industry.

Intermedika

Intermedika profile

Intermedika Case Management tool is the worlds first software specially built for clinics & hospitals in the medical tourism industry to manage cases efficiently and to develop stronger relationships with agents & facilitators.

Consumerism in healthcare whether we like or not like is no longer a fad. In order for healthcare providers to attract more self-pay patients, they need to be innovative and adopt technology that will provide insights into their business, accelerate treatment quoting, book appointments fast and reduce admin.

Managing cases through email and excel spreadsheets is not only not productive – it’s not safe or secure. Intermedika solves that with a centralised view enabling stakeholders to collaborate seamlessly from a single point of engagement for all patient data. Most importantly Intermedika helps increase patient acquisition, conversion and profitability.

Temos profile

Quality certification in medical tourism & tourism medicine
Temos is a neutral and independent certification body founded in 2010 as a spin-off of a European research project. Today, Temos is located with its Headquarters in Germany and currently 16 regional offices in several countries worldwide.

Temos stands for * Trust * Effective Medicine * Optimized Services * with the aim to support medical facilities like hospitals, clinics, dental practices, rehabilitation centers, eye clinics, and reproductive care centers as well as medical travel coordinators worldwide in their efforts to continuously work on quality improvement.

Their quality programs focus on the demands and requirements of patients who wish to get medical treatment overseas (medical tourism) or need to get medical treatment abroad as business travellers, tourists or expatriates (tourism medicine). Medical facilities who are awarded the Temos Certificate have implemented an own, national or international recognized Quality Management System (QMS) and fulfil in addition the strict Temos quality criteria for international patient management. Thus, the Temos quality programs are complementary to the international accreditation systems.

The Temos certification programs are peer-reviewed, annually updated and approved by the Medical Advisory Board and the International Expert Committee.

Having participated since the first IMTJ Summit I am sure that no other organization (than Intuition Communication) is able to organize such a professional event and to bring THE medical travel professionals together in one event. The perfect marketplace for business and exchange with decision makers.
