title: [Quality improvement by structured electronic medical record and clinical audit].
abstract: By extracting data from our medical record database concerning cataract complications a clinical audit was performed. The statistics programme in our database delivered the medical records. Each complication was carefully investigated at a clinical audit in order to improve the future surgical outcome. Recent years of clinical audit has helped to improve the outcome of cataract surgery at our clinic in the form of fewer complications. The data are compared to EUREQUO. Furthermore, parallels to other medical specialities are drawn.
