Sammanfattning

The objective was to find a method for quality assessment in primary health care and to apply this method on a defined disease. General practitioners and hospital doctors worked out a programme for evaluating the quality of outpatient care of patients with insulin treated diabetes as one of five tracers. An expert committee comprising experienced general practitioners and hospital doctors compared two health centres with one outpatient medical department. Data were collected during a defines period combined with a one-year retrospective view, official statistics on medical care and a questionnaire completed by the patients. Medical audit is a useful method for evaluation medical quality. Co-operation between hospital doctors and general practitioners is of great value for evaluation of the quality of primary health care.
