Quality Management

Health Quality Standards, one of the four basic building blocks of the Turkish Health Quality System, were developed to reveal the targeted quality level for all health institutions and organizations providing services in Turkey and to provide guidance for implementation.

HKS sets are created to cover all institutions and organizations providing public, private and university status health services in Turkey.

SKS sets, together with the scoring system, guidance statements for standards and evaluation criteria, and supporting documents in the annexes, are also a tool that minimizes the risks that may be encountered during healthcare and ensures the management of risks.

In order to maintain quality studies in health effectively and consistently, various auxiliary guides published by our Ministry together with the Health Quality Standards must be addressed and implemented from a holistic perspective.

Quality Standards in Health are prepared with a systematic approach, based on the World Health Organization targets, international developments, and the needs and priorities of the country’s health system.

During the standard preparation studies, the opinions and suggestions of users and relevant experts are received through various methods, and especially field practitioners are included in all processes related to quality studies.
