Audit, quality control, and performance in thoracic surgery--a European perspective

Alessandro Brunelli et al. Thorac Surg Clin. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

The internal audit process is preparatory to independent, external quality control assessment. The current status of quality control implementation in European thoracic surgery comprises existing and functioning but uncoordinated resources. There is a need to coordinate these resources to achieve a consistent external audit process.
