[Quality assurance in child and adolescent public health care]

The most important precondition for quality control in public youth health care is the determination of the required functions. The legal and actual circumstances in the Bundesländer and in the communities and districts vary greatly. Therefore, community youth health care should be supervised by a local committee. Secondly, the description of youth health care products should include complete quality requirements. Thirdly, the structural conditions of production should be analysed. Finally, we should establish audits on outcome quality.
