Abstract
Certification is a critical component of quality assurance in medicine. From the certification of individual persons, through units and up to whole hospitals, certification stimulates testing and optimization of treatment processes, thereby improving the quality of care. Minimum case numbers needed to acquire a certificate are an important and objective attribute of quality. Advantages of certification include an improved treatment of patients, structured training of new employees and enhanced cost efficiency.Entities:
