A system of quality management in dialysis.
Because of changes in legislation, dialysis may now be performed in all hospitals in The Netherlands, which could affect the quality of the therapy. Therefore a system of quality management in health care, and especially in dialysis, was developed. In this article the implementation and evaluation of such a system is described.
