Abstract:
Although certification in France is at the health establishment level, maternity wards are directly and indirectly concerned by the certification of their establishment. The purpose of this article is to help perinatal caregivers in maternity wards to prepare, as well as possible, for the certification visit of their establishment. The 7 stages of preparation for the visit are explained with concrete examples from the Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) certification guide. With good organization, the certification visit can go stress-free and professionals will be ready to meet HAS experts.
