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 main objective is to set a level of quality for a competent organisation. This objective becomes effective upon achieving a certain number of standards referred to as “essential” and that are necessary to obtain the certificate of accreditation. It is a dichotomously-based evaluation, i.e., an assessment is made based on whether the standard is met or not. A push to improve the quality of the organisation is derived from the objective inherent to the model. It is done voluntarily through compliance with non-essential or improvement standards. 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.
