Quality Management is gaining an increasing importance, it is becoming a part of coordinated activities in medical care and also a scientific research topic in order to identify good practice and transfer it further.

Aim: The aim of the research was to map the situation in the field of quality management of perioperative care and verify whether there is a difference in the level of quality achieved between accredited and non-accredited hospitals and which attributes affect the quality of care.

Methods: The research consisted of qualitative and quantitative sections and included several data collection methods. The method of "shadowing" of head nurse central operating rooms was selected for the definition of the role of manager position. To get information about quality management there have been implemented three semi-structured interviews with the specialists on this topic. Based on the interviews the SWOT analysis was prepared and the results were used to make a non-standard questionnaire for the quantitative verification of the identified points.

Results: Carrying out external audits and monitoring of quality indicators are the two most important attributes that set the level of quality of care in operating rooms and that are associated with the existence of accreditation. In the second study the working hypothesis was confirmed, which means that accredited hospitals achieved higher levels of quality.

Conclusion: The existence of the title of accreditation affects the quality of operating rooms, and the most important attributes are setting and monitoring of quality indicators and carrying out external audits.

Keywords: quality management, perioperative care, perioperative (theatre) nurse, operating theatre, hospital
