Certifications

Providing excellent quality patient care has always been a priority at the Barraquer Centre.

For years we've been working on a quality management system that enables us to offer all our services in a coherent way and meet all the requirements, features and/or demands set by the different independent and approved bodies.

The accreditation of acute care hospitals by the Generalitat (Catalan Government) is a periodic external evaluation process that certifies that a hospital meets the quality and safety standards previously established by the Department of Health. See the key accreditation points.

The Quality Management System Certificate is an international standard. Due to the implementation of this management system, Barraquer can demonstrate its capacity to provide services coherently, ones that satisfy the customer’s requirements and the applicable regulations. Our own quality systems are improved, thereby generating greater trust between providers and clients.

• Management of healthcare and non-healthcare activities for the provision of ophthalmologic care according to the service portfolio and management of teaching and research in the specialty.
