Doctors or medical teams in the same speciality working in health care institutions may request that the quality of their professional practice be accredited under the conditions set out in article L. 1414-3-3. Accreditation is valid for four years. The results of the accreditation procedure are made public. Doctors and medical teams involved in the accreditation procedure or accredited doctors send the Haute Autorité de santé the information required to analyse undesirable medical events.
A decree shall specify the conditions for implementing this article, and in particular the conditions under which accreditation applications may be reserved for doctors practising certain specialties that are particularly exposed to professional risk.
