Introduction: with the health reform in Chile, quality assurance arises, which through accreditation processes seeks to improve patient care, making permanent changes in the processes and safety culture of health institutions.
Objective: analyze the current state of accreditation of dialysis centers in the Maule region of Chile.
Methodology: quantitative, non-experimental design, descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal. Sixteen dialysis centers in the region were analyzed and the information was obtained from the official site of the Superintendence of Health, through the Registry of Accredited Providers.
Results: of the total number of dialysis centers reviewed, 93,4 % accredited with 100 % compliance with the mandatory characteristics and only six re-accredited with 100 % compliance with the total characteristics that apply to them as providers and two have expired accreditation.
Conclusions: accreditation processes are sufficient tools to improve the quality and health safety of dialysis patients, thanks to the rigor and continuity of the process, but in order to maintain it, it should be aimed at a change in safety culture
