Avedis Donabedian Foundation
The Avedis Donabedian Foundation (FAD) aims to contribute to improving the quality of healthcare and social services. We collaborate with professionals, centers, public administrations, citizen and professional organizations, and other public and private institutions to enhance the quality of healthcare and social services received by the public. Quality improvement promotes a professional and scientific attitude and approach that utilizes elements of evaluation theory, management disciplines, and other quantitative and qualitative methodologies to ensure that professionals' work is of increasing scientific and technical quality, and that users receive services tailored to their needs and expectations. FAD was founded in 1989 and is the managing body of the Avedis Donabedian University Institute, established in 2006.
