The book provides a comprehensive overview of quality and risk management in healthcare (QMRM) and presents the goals and orientations of a QMRM system, as well as the premises and pitfalls in practical implementation. It describes the tools and methods for use in QMRM, along with process management, and presents the QM and RM systems and procedures relevant to healthcare in an application-oriented manner. Additionally, it offers a sector-specific outline of the legal framework for QM and RM from the legislator's perspective. The topic of hygiene management is also fundamentally addressed. It supports the efficient design of integrated systems and their phase-oriented development up to implementation and, if necessary, certification. Standards, concepts, and procedures in the field of QMRM are presented in a practical and concise manner, with a broad perspective.
