[Implementation and development of quality management in hospitals and private practice -- present state of the art]
Abstract
Since 1. 1. 2004 both hospitals and private practices in Germany are required by law to implement a quality management (QM) system within their organization. Different QM systems with a number of advantages and disadvantages are available. It has been well-documented that implementing QM im-proves the quality of both processes and results, thus improving patient care. At present certification of the organization is not yet part of the official requirements, but seems a likely step.
