Vers une nouvelle certification des établissements de santé pour 2020

TOWARDS A NEW CERTIFICATION OF HEALTHCARE FACILITIES FOR 2020.: The accreditation process, now a certification process for healthcare facilities, has constantly evolved since 1999 in order to improve the quality and safety of care provided to patients. In order to meet demographic, epidemiological and social challenges, it needs to be revised again. The French National Health Authority board has fixed three main objectives for the 2020 version: to medicalise certification, simplify it and adapt it to hospital groups in the public and private sector.
