Report of a survey on accreditation and conformity assessment in the field of breast cancer in Europe: Report of a survey on accreditation and conformity assessment in the field of breast cancer in Europe
Background: The objective of this survey was to collect information from the National Accreditation Bodies in collaboration with European Cooperation for Accreditation on the accreditation status of the countries
Methods: The survey included two questionnaires and a data protection form distributed by e-mail. The participants were the members of EA.
Results: Twenty-five out of 35 contacted countries responded, corresponding to a response rate of 71%. The most applied standard resulted to be ISO 15189 and the most covered stage of care diagnosis.
Conclusions: Accreditation status is diverse across Europe; some countries don't harbor accredited/certified organisations on breast cancer care, and others use different standards in different stages of care. A harmonisation in quality benchmarking would enhance equality in patients' care.
