Postgraduate Diploma in Quality of Care and Humanization in Healthcare for Nursing

The quality of care is applied through multiple measures, such as the evaluation and improvement of processes and standards of care, the promotion of patient safety, the promotion of scientific and technological innovation, the continuous training of health professionals and the involvement of patients and their families in their own care process. On the other hand, humanization in healthcare refers to a series of ethical, social and cultural values that seek to respect the dignity, autonomy and integrity of the patient and his or her family. In other words, it is about offering health care centered on the person, taking into account their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs. At TECH Global University we have this academic program designed with the aim of providing the knowledge and skills necessary to improve the quality of health care and promote the humanization of health services.
