The Dutch Lung Cancer Audit: Nationwide quality of care evaluation of lung cancer patients
Clinical auditing proved to be a valuable process for the improvement of medical care and patient outcomes[1]. The use of quality registries or clinical audits has been effective in the last decade in evaluating and improving medical care by minimizing undesired practice variation and improving patient outcomes. National audits for lung cancer patients included mostly surgical treatment of lung cancer[2 –4].
