title: [National quality levels - multidisciplinary strategies on quality development in nursing and care].
abstract: Whereas healthcare quality assurance measures were to a large extent legally institutionalised by health insurance reforms undertaken during the 1990s, the field of nursing and care was not widely affected. In this area, state of the art clauses, in particular with regard to multidisciplinary service ranges, commonly still remain empty. National quality levels, developed as multidisciplinary nursing and care quality determinations, for the first time meet quality science criteria for in-patient treatment both exemplarily and in daily practice. In this article, the methodical approach as well as excerpts from the quality level on mobility and safety are demonstrated. The conclusion drawn implies the systematic implementation and evaluation of national quality levels as well as understanding multidisciplinary quality levels as a public task in terms of establishment and institutionalisation.
