Despite scientific and technological advances in the field of health services, well-informed \u2018consumers\u2019 (patients, health insurance organisations\/ companies and corporate clients), recognising the risks of potential unsafe operation of health care providers, are becoming increasingly \u2018cautious\u2019 and as a result, healthcare facilities are looking for a recognition \u2013 \u2018quality seal\u2019 which is a \u2018quality control and safety\u2019 assurance mark for their services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>The DIN EN 15224 standard is the European framework of specifications for the development and implementation of management systems in health care services<\/strong>\u00a0in order to respond adequately to the specific needs and circumstances of health care services (hospitals, clinics, inpatient and outpatient clinics, diagnostic centres) and specialised medical units such as IVF centres, dental centres, rehabilitation centres, etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The evaluation and certification procedures for these systems should be governed by a specialised approach, with substantial control and identification of the weaknesses of the systems in place and the deficiencies that put patient safety at risk, rather than simply being limited to a superficial inspection of general aspects of the operation of the facilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Swiss Approval\u2019s teams of experts and inspectors for the DIN EN 15224 standard include healthcare professionals with international experience, and qualified system inspectors with long experience in healthcare service inspections. By virtue of its expertise and experience,\u00a0<strong>Swiss Approval International developed guidelines<\/strong>\u00a0for the analysis of the requirements and implementation of the principles of the standard, incorporating specific, internationally recognised quality assurance tools in healthcare and international best practices, based on the following principles:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\">\n<li>The quality of healthcare can be ensured through a patient-centred concept regarding care that is patient-centred and delivered individually as appropriate for the particular person, at the appropriate time.<\/li>\n<li>Reliability in healthcare services can be met by implementing risk identification and management procedures, adopting clinical safety and patient management protocols, and by mechanisms to evaluate clinical effectiveness and improve the quality of care provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">When implementing management systems according to DIN EN 15224, patient safety is perceived as a primary objective by modern healthcare systems and therefore, it is considered necessary to develop a strong culture for the safety of the services provided entwined with the operational strategy of each healthcare facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Certification according to Swiss Approval\u2019s guidelines for the implementation of the European Standard DIN EN 15224 is the leading way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Effective management of patient safety risks and operational risk in healthcare organisations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Implementation of quality control procedures in healthcare to prevent errors and adverse events<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaluation of clinical effectiveness<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Adequate and up-to-date training of staff<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuous improvement of clinical performance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Swiss Approval<\/strong>\u00a0guarantees the provision of added value through its services to healthcare providers for an effective implementation of the European quality assurance criteria according to\u00a0<strong>DIN EN 15224<\/strong>\u00a0with the aim of maximising benefits and objectively promoting quality and patient safety.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swissapproval.gr\/images\/logo\/CMYK_Management_Systems.jpg\" alt=\"CMYK Management Systems\" width=\"105\" height=\"137\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">UKAS Accredited No 9742<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guarantee of trust in the services of healthcare units The healthcare sector is multi-dimensional and extremely complex regarding the determinants of quality and safety in its services, which is regulated both by international and national rules and by more specific regulatory frameworks \u2013 protocols.
