[Quality assurance, quality management or quality control?].
The current concept of quality in the German health care system dates back to the period of the 1950s and 1960s, also including current legislation. Nevertheless, quality initiatives are in full progress. The German health care system is supposed to learn from experiences described in the fields of industry, technology and commerce. The philosophy and technology of quality management can provide an ideal solution to the common problems of the health care system.
