Abstract

Quality in medicine is by definition an ethical aim. In its common form the programme of quality control is directed at the accurate measuring of the output of health care. This programme has a good ethical foundation. We ought to know much more about results and complications, both of diagnostic and of therapeutic procedures. However, the quality assessment programme, also has potential dangers from an ethical point of view. The main problem is that it may tend to focus on simple, technical, measurable short-term indices, giving insufficient attention to important human and ethical factors. Therefore the quality control programme needs to be supplemented by other methods.
