Results: In the first round consensus was found for accepting 44 indicators.The data analysis that took place in the second round revealed consensus for including 10 more quality indicators. Conclusion: The quality indicators in AS used in Portugal are in line with the literature recommendations, but they only reflect some aspects of the quality process.
