Endometriosezentren und Qualitätsmanagement
German endometriosis centers are certified by external audits, but methods are missing to compare treatment outcome quality across centers and countries.

This paper examines the establishment and certification of specialized endometriosis centers in Germany as a strategy to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for this complex condition. It details how external audits by the Endometriosis Research Foundation ensure structural and process quality, including interdisciplinary cooperation and staff training, while noting that outcome benchmarking remains unavailable. The authors argue that these certified centers facilitate better patient care through multidisciplinary approaches and public awareness initiatives despite current limitations in comparing treatment results. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on organizational structures, quality management systems, and certification criteria for specialized treatment centers.
