title: [Evaluating individual doctors in the IFMS programme].
abstract: The 'Individueel functioneren medisch specialisten' (Individual Functioning of Medical Specialists, IFMS) programme is a formative evaluation tool.- The aim of the IFMS programme is to consolidate good practices and to ameliorate those less desirable. - It is an integral system that takes the complexity of the medical profession, the physician as an individual and the expectations and demands from the individual's surroundings into account. - The IFMS programme uses the physician's intrinsic motivation and individual responsibility as its starting points. - The programme's features include maintaining a portfolio and acquiring feedback from the surroundings which are then used as a foundation for a personal discussion with a trained communicator.- The outcome of this method results in a physician who is and remains conscious of the need to deliver high-quality care, taking his or her personal aspirations and demands of the work setting into account.
