[Quality of outpatient tonsillectomy performed in ear, nose & throat practice].
In Danish healthcare there are increasing demands in the field of hospital care on performance and outcome measurement and quality improvement in relation to a number of diseases. Hitherto, corresponding measurements of quality have not been carried out among private specialized practitioners. The present project describes the development and selection of evidence-based national indicators, standards, and case mix factors in terms of prognostic factors with the purpose of measuring quality of out-patient tonsillectomy in Danish ear, nose & throat practices.
