Our quality standards

For this reason, high safety standards are a matter of course for Austrian private hospitals. Our hospitals have always been pioneers when it comes to maintaining and testing quality and safety: the majority are certified according to international standards and have these checked by external auditors as part of annual audits.

As the importance of quality of results in healthcare policy in Austria and Europe is continuously increasing, there have been statutory measurement procedures for reviewing treatment results for several years. The results also confirm the excellent quality assurance in Austrian private hospitals.

Our member hospitals have participated in A-IQI, the Federal Agency's project to measure the quality of results, since the beginning. In addition, all Austrian private hospitals comply with the guidelines on care and infrastructure laid down by the Austrian Healthcare Structure Plan (ÖSG) and are monitored by PRIKRAF (Privatkrankenanstalten-Finanzierungsfonds).

The aim of these statutory inspection procedures, namely the best possible treatment outcomes in the interests of patients, applies to Austria's private hospitals. This is also demonstrated every year by the report of the Patient Advocate.

However, our quality standards go even further: our hospitals combine these excellent treatment results with human attention and individual care. The well-being of our patients is our top priority when it comes to their care!
