برای ایجاد یک مرکز پایدار پزشکی باید چهار عامل مهم را در نظر داشت.

عامل نخست نمایانگر پایه های اساسی یک مرکز گردشگری پزشکی است که شامل مقررات پزشکی و استانداردهای کیفیت مراقبت است. عامل دوم نمایانگر روابط بین سازمانی است، و به شبکه ای اطلاق می شود که ذینفعان را به منظور دستیابی به اهداف مشترک ، برای همکاری با مرکز پزشکی همکاری بر می انگیزاند. عامل سوم نمایانگر یک مرکز پزشکی است که باید شبکه خود را گسترش دهد تا مؤسسات آموزشی و سازمان های بین المللی را برای واجد شرایط بودن پزشکان و کارکنان خود در بر بگیرد. آخرین ربع نشان دهنده گسترش اوج یک مرکز گردشگری پزشکی است که شامل خدمات گسترده ای می شود که فراتر و بالاتر از انتظارات بیماران است، این یعنی ارائه خدمات بعد از عمل برای بیماران خارجی تا اطمینان حاصل شود که خدمات پزشکی مطابق با رضایت بیماران ارائه شده است. .
