title: [Evaluation and quality management in multiple trauma care].
abstract: In total quality management of polytraumatised patients, it is necessary to use analysis of structure, process and outcome quality to search for problem areas and improvement possibilities. The structure includes the attributes of material and human resources. The process denotes the real treatment course with the demand for treatment guidelines (algorithm) and an exact documentation of treatment. To prove the outcome quality, an internal and external judgement is possible. Our own results show that quality assessment, concerning the process as well as the internal and external quality outcome, brings a significant improvement to the care of polytrauma patients.
