Spanish autorización sanitaria compliance hub

Spanish autorización sanitaria guides

Each guide answers one question a provider in Madrid and Cataluña, Spain asks about Spanish autorización sanitaria, from the official sources it cites. There are 7 guides across 6 topics, last checked on 16 October 2026.

The depth of an authorisation readiness review, written from Spain's national bases and the Madrid and Catalan rules. Madrid alone counted 3,497,277 residents in January 2026, and every centre that serves them answers to the Consejería. Each guide ends with how wai does the work.

How the guides map to the Spanish autorización sanitaria framework

The hub sets out the 5 headings Spanish autorización sanitaria works to, and the guides take them one task at a time.

The 5 headings on the Spanish autorización sanitaria hub

  1. La autorización sanitaria, 5 requirements on the hub. Every health centre, whatever its size or owner, needs prior authorisation from its comunidad autónoma to install, to operate, to change and to close. Madrid renews it every eight years, and Cataluña grants it before activity starts.
  2. El registro de centros, 5 rules on the hub. Every authorisation is entered in the comunidad's own register, and the comunidades send it on to REGCESS, the Ministerio de Sanidad's public national register of authorised centres.
  3. Profesionales and the staff file, 5 requirements on the hub. Since 1 July 2026 every centre must keep current information on all its health staff and a personal file showing each professional's official degree. Madrid asks for a signed staff list and notice of every change, and Cataluña names a responsable assistencial and a referent de seguretat del pacient.
  4. La historia clínica, 6 rules on the hub. Ley 41/2002 requires a historia clínica for every patient that identifies the professionals who took part, kept at least five years from each discharge, with the patient's right to see it and receive a copy. Cataluña keeps the key documents 15 years and logs every change with its author.
  5. Información and consentimiento informado, 5 rules on the hub. Ley 41/2002 makes information and consent verbal as a rule, recorded in the historia clínica, and written for surgery, invasive procedures and procedures with notable risks. The patient can revoke consent in writing at any time.

Questions about the Spanish autorización sanitaria guides

Which Spanish autorización sanitaria guide should I read first?

Start with The autorización sanitaria, the first guide on this page, about 9 minutes of reading, filed under Authorisation. The other 6 each stand on their own, so take them in the order your own preparation needs.

How do these guides relate to the Spanish autorización sanitaria hub?

The Spanish autorización sanitaria hub sets out the 5 headings Spanish autorización sanitaria works to and how wai evidences each one. Each guide goes one level down, to a single task, with steps to follow, a template to copy, answers to common questions and the sources behind it.

How current are the Spanish autorización sanitaria guides?

Every guide shows the date its facts were checked against the official sources it cites. All 7 were checked on 16 October 2026, the same date the hub shows beside its Updated line.

Are the Spanish autorización sanitaria guides legal advice?

They are guidance, not legal advice, written from what Spanish autorización sanitaria publishes, with a link to the source for each fact. Neither the Comunidad de Madrid's Consejería de Sanidad nor the Generalitat's Departament de Salut endorses wai or any software, and the autorización for your organisation is decided by the comunidad autónoma's health authority.

How do I request a demo for Spanish autorización sanitaria?

Request a demo from this page and it reaches the wai team with Spanish autorización sanitaria already named, so the call starts from Spanish autorización sanitaria rather than a general tour. You can also write to team@wellnessa-i.com.
