ABSTRACT
The recently passed German hospital structure act (Krankenhausstrukturgesetz) stresses the immense importance of quality for the medical care of the population. How can inpatient and outpatient treatment in the field of rheumatology be improved and how can this be assessed? A very important basis for such measurement approaches are quality indicators, i.e. parameters that indicate to what degree a certain level of quality has already been reached or is planned to be reached in the future. The work performed by the German Rheumatism Research Center (DRFZ) and the Association of Rheumatological Acute Clinics (VRA) in Germany has already used certain quality indicators and this topic has been recently described elsewhere. International quality indicators have also been published in recent years, all for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most prevalent inflammatory rheumatic disease and are the central subject of this article. This overview of proposed instruments for quality assessment in rheumatology is intended to initiate a broad discussion on the subject of quality of rheumatological care in Germany.
