[Selected aspects for quality assurance in family practice]

All general practitioners of Dresden, the capital of Saxonia, were interviewed about problems of the quality assurance twice, 1995 and a year after. In 1995, the response rate was 60.7%, in 1996 83.8% of the first participants. The majority of the doctors are interested in the quality assurance of the medical care by family doctors including their own work. In their view, the different possibilities of the quality assurance and the various kinds of further medical training are of different importance. This estimation can depend on the age and sex of the physicians and on the kind of practice-organization.
