Abstract

Quality Improvement(QI) is the main agenda rising rapidly at the health policy. Recent policy trend like hospital evaluation with public reporting and evaluation of appropriateness in health insurance areas show that QI become the main target agenda of government. Especially, medical societies should give their attention to this policy change because QI related policies are closely related to the credibility of medical professionals for public. Medical professionals should understand problems which recent QI policies are confronted and ask for modification as follows: the duplication at several evaluation areas, ineffective evaluation approaches, etc.
