title: [Quality assurance in allergology--the patient at the center].
abstract: The content and amount of the allergologic diagnostic measures differs more and more in comparison to the causal treatment and consulting of the patient during care. The tasks of quality assurance may include the development of criteria for evaluated diagnostic measures and the resulting treatment concepts with respect to an interdisciplinary approach. The cooperation with patient groups should be integrated in such a concept. The basic allergologic care, the interaction with allergologic centers, the supervision and coordination with facilities of in-patient care have to be newly defined in the frame of a structural discussion.
