Quality management in the field of gastroenterology - Proposals of the Quality Commission of the German Society of Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) for Outpatient and Inpatient Quality Assurance

Z Gastroenterol. 2021 Jul;59(7):665-676. doi: 10.1055/a-1451-6350. Epub 2021 Jul 12.ABSTRACTThe quality of the medical care depends on numerous factors that can often be influenced by the doctor itself. It is a great challenge to follow the constant scientific progress in practice. Scientific standards in gastroenterology are defined in DGVS guidelines and regularly revised. The implementation of evidence-based recommendations in practice remains challenging. On the basis of the DGVS guidelines, the Quality Commission has therefore developed a selection of quality indicators with particular relevance using standardized criteria, the broad implementation of which could contribute to improved patient care in gastroenterology.PMID:34255315 | DOI:10.1055/a-1451-6350
