title: [Quality control of hospital care or medical audit: non-juridical guarantee of quality].
abstract: After defining the meaning of "medical audit", i.e. control and guarantee of the quality of hospital treatment with absolutely no judgment connotation or idea of something that interferes in any way with the physician's professional freedom, aspects of the medical audit are summarised on the basis of American and Dutch experience. It is pointed out that the technical and medical aspects should be the initial considerations.
