Die Pflicht zur Qualitatssicherung wurde erstmals im SGB V 1989 gesetzmassig verankert und 1993 in das GSG ubernommen. Unabhangig von der gesetzlichen Regelung stellt die Qualitatssicherung in der Medizin eine vordringliche Aufgabe dar. Die bei den med.-wiss. Fachgesellschaften von der BAK in Auftrag gegebenen Leitlinien fur Diagnostik und Therapie sollen den guten medizinischen Durchschnitt wiedergeben. Sie grenzen einen Behandlungskorridor ab und mussen selbstverstandlich fortwahrend den Entwicklungen und Fortschritten der Medizin angepasst werden. Leitlinien sind fur den behandelnden Arzt eine unerlassliche Hilfe bei der Festlegung von individuellen Diagnose- und Behandlungsschemata im Sinne der Qualitatssicherung und der Patientenzufriedenheit."
