title: Advanced health care initiatives in Europe on quality development, epidemiology and medical documentation.
abstract: Since the St. Vincent Declaration was published in 1989, several different but logically linked activities have been initiated. In addition, there are projects in adjacent fields supporting each other by exchange of information and partial co-operation. This paper provides an overview of their structure and describes the different projects.
