    Author: Murgas M, West DJ, Rusnakova V, Krcmery V, Aaronson WE.
    Journal: J Health Adm Educ; 1998; 16(2):223-33. PubMed ID: 10387237.
    Abstract:
    This article provides a conceptual framework for understanding changes occurring in the accreditation process for institutions of higher learning in the Slovak Republic. Health sector transformation is occurring rapidly throughout the Central and Eastern European region as former socialist states are experimenting with market-oriented approaches. Educators and universities are playing an important role in the development of knowledge, skills and abilities of current and future health practitioners. Accreditation is viewed as an important process in the continuing development of quality health service management curricula and preparing competent practitioners for the health care field. Historical considerations are examined as well as future directions for accreditation in the Slovak Republic.
