title: [Certification of healthcare centres: Taking stock].
abstract: Healthcare facilities can use certificates to position themselves as experts to their clients and to distinguish themselves from their competitors. Different AWMF societies have addressed this topic und offer healthcare facilities the chance to get certified as a centre. In the course of this the societies develop curricula. Certification according to these curricula is then performed by the healthcare facilities or by an accredited agency. The different certificates show large differences in their certification requirements, which makes comparing them difficult. The present publication provides an overview of societies addressing certification and centres that are currently being certified.
