title: [Basic principles and developments of organisational responsibility].
abstract: The obligation to establish and maintain proper organisational structures of clinical activity is gaining more and more significance in everyday hospital routine. It pertains to the general requirements for providing medical care and establishes a legal framework. Diagnosis, therapy and follow-up care must be organised in such a way that all avoidable hazards to the patient are precluded. Settlement of claims focuses on hospital owners.
