Quality management in psychodynamic psychiatry between cost reduction and becoming professional
Abstract
In view of the fact that economic resources in the health system are generally becoming more scarce, psychiatric departments are called upon to account for the quality of their professional work The authors describe various quality assurance measures practiced in psychodynamic psychiatry, the core element of which is group work in a multiprofessional team. They point out the parallels of this theoretically supported concept in reference to findings in other nonrelated economic fields and conclude that the only sensible approach for assessing the quality of professional work from an economic perspective is the conduction of scientific evaluation research.
