title: Measuring the immeasurable? Assessing the quality of anaesthetic care.
abstract: Quality can be viewed from three perspectives: the requirements of the healthcare system; issues related to delivery of care, such as access; and methods used to measure quality, such as outcome analysis. These viewpoints can be applied to the anaesthetic literature to analyse the assessment of quality of care.
