title: [Quality assurance in ambulatory care. Viewpoint of the forensic expert for concentrated action in public health].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Assuring the quality of medical care is a self-imposed obligation on the part of the profession and, at the same time, a legal obligation.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  On the way to implementing this requirement, the following points must be taken into account: the measurability of the quality of medical care, establishment of the quality of structure, treatment and results, aids for the determination and documentation, remuneration, and the motivation for implementing quality control.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A further development of present day approaches to quality assurance resulting in returning to the physician more responsibility while putting on him the onus of proof, would be desirable.
