Abstract:
For recent years, it has grown importance to evaluate medical service qualities of medical staffs and/or hospitals by using quality indicators. This paper introduces a representation system QI-RS of quality indicators. By using QI-RS, one can define quality indicators that satisfy understandability and formality, where "understandability" means that one can understand the calculation formula of a quality indicator easily and correctly, while "formality" means that the formula can be calculated to obtain the values of the indicator based on databases in a coherent manner.
