Certification and Protocols

MCHZ takes all measures necessary to control risks, and has prepared both a work plan and an emergency plan for this purpose.
The work plan is divided into several different protocols. The applicable legislation and the recommendations of the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical

Society (UHMS) are leading in this regard. The work plan is ultimately assessed by a certifying authority.
Certification is sought by the UHMS, for the recording of treatment practices and the exchangeability of research data.

MCHZ makes use of relevant existing protocols, such as functioning within a hospital context. MCHZ has secured back-up of several international doctors in the field of hyperbaric medicine, to function as advisors when specific problems occur.
Since August 15, 2013, MCHZ is ZKN certified. MCHZ thereby complies with strict criteria regarding patient care and business management. Part of the

ZKN label is the presence of a functioning Safety Management System (VMS). According to the auditor, MCHZ has an active attitude towards providing safe and adequate care, combined with hospitality and appropriate care. With the ZKN label, MCHZ emphasizes that it stands for quality care and patient safety.
