title: [Evaluation of quality of care in the United States].
abstract: Quality assessment in the USA has been undertaken during the past twenty years by different institutions sponsored by the Congress, the government and professional associations. The evaluation tools which were developed reflect both the diversity of the American medical scene fashions in health care management. They evolved from norms to incentives, but each step in this evolution left its marks in the form of regulations, financial incentives and traditions.
