title: [Model for a computer-assisted quality assurance system in burn intensive care].
abstract: The prerequisites for an integrated quality management system for hospitals were developed as a result of considerations regarding the necessity of an appropriate quality-assurance system for the intensive care sector. The basis for a dynamic quality-assurance system on the documentational level is a comprehensive data base containing patient files unlimited in terms of time and data technology. The necessary hardware and software structure will be provided by consistent application of a client-server architecture. Permanent surveillance of existing quality objectives within the scope of an economic close-loop system requires a system with flexible query mechanisms. Informational data access from all hierarchical level within the hospital organization is facilitated by the data warehouse concept, a data base system with subject-oriented, integrated, time-variable, and persistent data.
