Overview of the DEKRA seal for patient safety

Quality assurance and quality improvement of medical, therapy and nursing services have always been the foundations of patient care. Patient safety is at the heart of this. In order to document externally that the care of your patients is important to you, our experts will review the existing patient safety measures in your institution.
As an approved audit services provider, we are able to assess the quality of care and the safety of your patients on a competent and neutral basis. Our experts carry out such assessment using a catalog of criteria specifically designed for the requirements of inpatient medical institutions. We verify different areas based on random spot checks and thereby determine the current status of your services.
Our experts will carry out an audit at your healthcare nstitution to assess the safety and care of your patients on the basis of the following seven criteria:
  • Therapy safety
  • Nursing
  • Risk management
  • Patient discharge management
  • Hygiene
  • Communication
After the audit, we produce a detailed report which identifies all weaknesses and deficiencies. These are divided into:
  • Major non-conformity
  • Minor non-conformity
  • Recommendations
Failure to meet the required criteria is classified as a major non-conformity and requires immediate action. If you meet all the requirements at all the checkpoints, you will receive our recognised and independent seal.
The proper care and safety of the people to be treated in your healthcare facility are essential to their satisfaction and trust. In order to help your potential patients make their own decisions and to demonstrate externally that you meet the necessary quality and safety requirements, we have developed the DEKRA seal for patient safety.
