[Certification of care facilities and nursing services as a criterion for quality of care].
The aim of this study was to explore the impact of a certification system for care facilities and nursing services, based on the quality of care. ⋯ A certificate does not guarantee excellence of quality of care but it certifies the underlying conditions. Each care facility or nursing service remains responsible for linking the certificate to an increase in the quality of care.
