✦ Synopsis

Information about a hospital accreditation program generally goes unpublished, and when published, it is seldom used to analyse the quality performance in a group of hospitals. This article uses the information derived from the Accreditation Program of Hospitals in Catalunya to assess the quality of the performance of hospitals in this region. Catalunya's accreditation program is publicly administered, and the advantages and disadvantages of such a model in comparison to others will also be analysed.
