  • Title: [Quality and cost reduction: corresponding goals of strategic reorientation of hospitals].
    Author: Heberer M.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1997; 114():837-9. PubMed ID: 9574285.
    Abstract:
    Industrial quality management has taught that costs are not induced by high quality but by non-quality. The medical literature suggests that this might also hold true in medicine and furthermore reveals factors directed concurrently at lowering costs and at increasing quality: These include personal and institutional case load, implementation of guide lines supported by information technology as well as innovative organizational structures and principles of reimbursement.
