Centers of excellence: Are there standards?

ConclusionsThe lack of standardization for designating CoEs not only prevents CoEs from fully achieving their intended effects of signaling “excellent” hospitals, but also causes confusion for patients, employers and payers, which dilutes the meaning of the CoE label.ImplicationsWe suggest that the designation and implementation of CoEs should be standardized in healthcare.
