  • Title: [Modular concept for quality in the hospital--"Heidelberg model"].
    Author: Möller J, Bach A, Sonntag HG.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1996; 121(10):828-35. PubMed ID: 9019930.
    Abstract:
    The Heidelberg University Hospital meets the standards required of medical services in terms of efficiency, optimizing procedures, cost-effectiveness, staff-satisfaction, and reducing infection rates etc., by implementing the Modular concept for quality within hospitals that has now proven its worth in practice. This concept combines a number of functional modules, including the hygiene, nursing, environment, and casualty modules, to name just four of them, within an overall framework incorporating guidelines focusing on quality, strategies, and management policies. Relevant European quality guidelines and the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) are all taken into account to facilitate the required inter-hospital comparison with regard to continuous improvement of quality. It clearly demonstrates that expertise within the hospital and proven practicability in terms of numbers take definite precedence over theoretical approaches from outside experts.
