Humanitas is what is known in Italy as an IRCCS (a Scientific Institute of Admission and Care) that has been recognised by the Ministry of Health and Lombardy’s Regional Government as a centre of excellence in terms of quality of its healthcare services and its ability to translate the results of research and innovation into everyday clinical practice.

Humanitas is also a teaching centre for the University of Milan’s degree in Medicine and Surgery, Nursing and Biotechnologies.

International Quality Accreditation

Ever since it’s opening, Humanitas has adopted quality control systems based on the PDCA approach (Plan Do Check Act), which summarises the virtuous circle of quality and makes it possible to verify processes and outcomes in a continuous manner.

Istituto Clinico Humanitas has always compared itself with the best European hospitals and has taken part in various benchmarking projects as a means of preparing itself to meet the challenge of the opening of the European Health System.

It was this that led to the decision to certify the hospital’s management model with the Joint Commission International.
