• Consensus agreement on a standardised level of implementation can be

achieved across countries

• We found better and clear criteria for Gold nomination and Gold Level

• We need definitely more time on the process to do it earlier

• We need greater participation on the national coordinators- work on the national

process

• Clearer instructions and more support to national/regional coordinators to

nominated candidates

• To be a Jury member is work and need time

• More Jury members should be acquired

• One Jury member should be an independ observer

• Greater promotion - the process is opened for hospitals and health services

outside the ENSH – mainly HPH members

What we learned…

- Room for improvement on practical and strategic levels
