ISO 7101 is the first international consensus standard for quality management in healthcare. Its purpose is to establish a structured framework that ensures sustainable, high-level healthcare systems applicable to organizations of any size, structure, or location. To this end, it promotes the development of a quality culture led by committed senior management and a people-centered healthcare model based on respect, compassion, co-production, equity, and dignity.
