| Abstract | Background. It is possible to evaluate quality characteristics of different aspects of health care by many different measures. For these purposes, in various countries all over the world authorised institutions and/or agencies developed number of methodological accessories, criteria and tools for selection of more or less appropriately and optimally defined criteria and indicators of quality clinical performance. Conclusions. Recently we have started with activities for gradual introduction of systematic monitoring, assessment and improvement of quality of health care in Slovenia as well. One of the key prerequisites for selection of valid, practicable, efficient and reliable quality indicators is the establishment of continuous and methodologically appropriate system of development and implementation of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. We started this process within the framework of national Health Sector Management Project, where all potential key stakeholders from health care sector participated. Also the project on Quality in Health Care in Slovenia, started, leaded and performed by the Medical Chamber of Slovenia, represents one of the important parallel starting steps towards assurance of reliable data on development/establishment of appropriate set of quality indicators and standards of health care in our country. | |
| Summary | Izhodišča. Kakovost posameznih vidikov zdravstvenega varstva merimo z različnimi merili. V številnih državah po svetu so za te namene pooblaščene institucije razvile raznolike metodološke pripomočke, merila in orodja, s kateri- mi izbiramo za oceno kakovosti zdravstvene oskrbe ustrezne kazalce in optimalno opredeljene parametre za njihovo vrednotenje. Tudi v Sloveniji smo pričeli z aktivnostmi za postopno uvedbo sistematičnega spremljanja, ocenjevanja in izboljševanja kakovosti zdravstvenega varstva. Zaključki. Vzpostavitev trajnega in metodološko ustreznega sistema oblikovanja in udejanjanja na dokazih temelječih smernic klinične prakse na nacionalni ravni pomeni izpolnitev enega ključnih izhodiščnih pogojev za izbiro veljavnih, uporabnih, učinkovitih in zanesljivih kazalcev kakovosti zdravstvene oskrbe. S tem procesom smo pričeli v okviru projekta Razvoj upravljanja sistema zdravstvenega varstva, pri katerem sodelujejo vsi ključni partnerji s področja zdravstva v Sloveniji. Projekt Kakovost v zdravstvu Slovenije, ki ga je spočela, ga vodi in izvaja Zdravniška zbornica Slovenije, pa pomeni pomemben vzporedni korak v smeri zagotavljanja podatkov za oblikovanje ustreznega nabora kazalcev in standardov kakovosti zdravstvenega varstva. | |
