FOCUS ON PSDM CERTIFICATION

Nieuws > FOCUS ON PSDM CERTIFICATION

Under the new law of December 14, 2020 (Article 80), PSDMs (Service Providers and Equipment Distributors) must obtain certification to show that they comply with good practices. This is a condition for joining the national agreement with the health insurance funds.

Since 2022, certification has been undergoing reform. In short, MDSPs that fail to obtain certification will no longer benefit from coverage by the Assurance Maladie. This applies not only to new authorizations, but also to those who already have one. Certification will become compulsory from January 1, 2025. After this date, it will no longer be possible to work as a PSDM without certification.

Focused on the internal organization of MHPs, with an analysis of coordination between various support functions such as human resources, premises, infectious risk prevention, cleaning and disinfection, medical device management and maintenance, waste management, the information system, and the use of subcontractors.

Encompasses everything that could constitute a risk during the practice of the activity, with the emphasis on taking these risks into account and analyzing them.

Obtaining this certification is essential, as it offers numerous advantages such as credibility, compliance with standards and ensures a high level of professionalism and quality in the services offered to patients.

En examinant l’article 27 de la convention nationale des prestataires, qui aborde le nettoyage et la désinfection des produits fournis, il est recommandé de mettre en place un circuit de “marche en avant”. Ce circuit devrait inclure des zones et des espaces spécialement dédiés au nettoyage et à la désinfection du matériel. Assurez-vous d’avoir au moins 3 zones distinctes et identifiées, pour suivre et faciliter le processus : stock sale, zone de nettoyage et désinfection, et atelier.

Oxy’Pharm can help you set up a cleaning and disinfection circuit that complies with protocol:

The Sanivap device, a class IIa medical device, provides chemical-free detergency and broad-spectrum disinfection, while respecting the material being treated.
Nocotech’s bio-disinfection system ensures automated final disinfection, also suitable for transport vehicles.
