title: [Integration of quality assurance procedures into medical documentation systems--from quality indicator to improved medical quality].
abstract: Medical and commercial data are essential for sufficient clinical management. While regional quality studies--for example the German Perinatal Data Study--are mighty tools to compare the quality of departments in total--the integration of evaluated individual quality indicators in data processing systems can highly improve clinical results and clinical management. The evaluation of quality indicators improves the benefit of quality management. Parameters monitoring the contentment of patients are extremely valuable information. Quality management and information management are closely linked.
