title: [In-house team seminars: working together as a team--from data and statistics to quality development].
abstract: The concept of the "ZQ In-house Seminars" provided by external trainers/experts pursues the specific aim to enable all healthcare staff members of hospital departments to analyse statistical data--especially from external quality measurements--and to initiate in-hospital measures of quality improvement based on structured team work. The results of an evaluation in Lower Saxony for the period between 2004 and 2008 demonstrate a sustainable increase in outcome quality of care and a strengthening of team and process orientation in clinical care.
