Healthcare Audits
Compliance through healthcare audits
The healthcare sector is constantly evolving, with an increasing focus on prevention: promoting health instead of treating conditions. Multidisciplinary collaboration and technological innovations play an essential role in this. However, this approach also brings new challenges, such as changes in legislation and regulations and extra attention to the safety of clients and patients. Book your healthcare audits with DEKRA to ensure safety and compliance for your organization.
DEKRA specializes in healthcare audits and assesses whether your
management systems
comply with various standards. Our auditors have in-depth expertise in the healthcare sector and also offer customized solutions that go beyond simply complying with the standard. In this way, DEKRA supports you in safeguarding and continuously improving the safety of your patients and clients.

ISO 9001
In healthcare, the ISO 9001 standard contributes to increasing the quality of processes and services. This internationally recognized standard increases patient safety by ensuring consistent and reliable processes, reducing errors and stimulating a culture of continuous improvement.

In addition, the standard supports healthcare institutions in complying with laws and regulations, limiting risks and providing accountability.

DEKRA's approach to healthcare audits
You can become certified when an accredited external certification body, such as DEKRA, has audited your organization's processes. A
certification process
at DEKRA consists of fixed steps. We test your processes against the established standard, a series of rules that must be met. In healthcare, an external audit is important to enable certification, but the actual functionality and performance of your management system are paramount.
Personal approach
During the external audit, our auditors penetrate to the core of your processes and thereby reveal the real bottlenecks. Our team of experienced professionals offers a personal approach during the certification process. Our expertise makes navigating the complexity of certifications in healthcare clear again.
