Rating criteria

When we think of health, we are talking about highly regulated systems that need to think about security at all times. For this, we have many redundancies in practices, because there is no ‘recall’ in health, there is no way to provide another experience for that person who died, for example”, explains Chrystina.

To the extent that there are professionals who work with resources and within clear policies and work standards that provide them with everything necessary for assistance, this gives more security and tranquility to those who work. Quality certifications translate into safety and humanity”, says the expert.
