A comprehensive system for quality improvement in General Practice has been developed in the Netherlands during the last decade. The basic principles of the quality system are discussed. Practice Guidelines are developed by GP's for GP's in a four step procedure. A range of methods and products based on the guidelines is produced to enhance the implementation of practice guidelines.
