Coronavirus (COVID-19)
This is an unprecedented time for everyone. We, the Temos team, are very grateful for the work carried out by all health service providers around the world. We recognize the incredible challenge that healthcare organizations and “front-line” workers face to save patients.
On behalf of the entire Temos team, thank you for everything you are doing to care for your patients, your families, and yourselves!
Due to the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19, Temos International Healthcare Accreditation onsite assessments are suspended.
The Temos team is doing its best to keep the accreditation programs on schedule. We have been in contact with all organizations that have assessments scheduled for the upcoming months to postpone the onsite visits where applicable.

Resources and training courses regarding COVID-19
The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly everywhere and recommendations are changing with similar speed. Numerous organizations provide us with useful information, others distribute false and even dangerous information or offer unethical “business opportunities”. We distance ourselves from those organizations who make the crisis worse instead of contributing to its complete resolution.
The goal of this resource page is to provide you with evidence-based information and training opportunities from reliable sources. We will continuously update this page and welcome any suggestions you may have to add further reliable resources to this library.
If you have any questions or need other resources, please get back to us.
