Critérios para a Certificação
dos Centros de AVC

Propósito

O objetivo do programa de certificação de centros de AVC é aumentar a qualidade do cuidado ao AVC na Índia, com o objetivo final de melhorar os desfechos para os pacientes.

Após o cumprimento dos critérios, incentivaremos os hospitais a solicitarem a certificação como Centros de AVC WSO/NABH. A certificação dos centros de AVC é uma etapa prioritária para orientar o cuidado nacional do AVC, por meio da aplicação de protocolos baseados em evidências que abrangem toda a linha de cuidado. Portanto, trabalharemos em conjunto com as Sociedades Médicas e Gestores de Saúde de cada país (Ministérios da Saúde/Secretarias de Saúde).

Este programa foi desenvolvido para garantir a implementação de elementos prioritários nos centros de AVC, aumentando a qualidade e a segurança do atendimento, além de melhorar os resultados em longo prazo. Com uma equipe de especialistas em AVC, ofereceremos sugestões para a melhoria dos serviços, materiais para treinamento de equipes, educação continuada, publicações científicas, além da certificação internacional publicada em nosso site e no aplicativo que estará disponível à população. Esperamos que, no futuro, a certificação também contribua para uma melhor remuneração dos serviços de saúde.
