Reports on a study which aimed to initiate a quality assurance process among health care personnel in Sweden. An epidemiological survey concerning treatment of leg ulcers in a defined region in Sweden was conducted and the costs of treating leg ulcers at different levels of care were analysed. The epidemiological survey provided the data necessary to calculate the socio-economic costs for the treatment of leg ulcers. The weekly cost was found to be about 24 times higher for hospital inpatients than it was for patients treated at home. The quality assurance process has continued through an interdisciplinary regional consensus conference and the establishment of a consensus programme in the region, with targets and general suggestions for the care and treatment of leg ulcers. To maintain high quality in leg ulcer treatment in the region, an interdisciplinary reference group has been established with members from different clinics at the hospital and members from the primary health care.
关于一项旨在在瑞典医护人员中启动质量保证程序的研究报告。在瑞典一个特定地区开展了一项关于腿部溃疡治疗的流行病学调查，并分析了不同护理水平下治疗腿部溃疡的成本。该流行病学调查提供了计算腿部溃疡治疗社会经济成本所需的数据。结果发现，医院住院患者的每周费用比在家接受治疗的患者高出约24倍。质量保证程序通过跨学科区域共识会议得以持续推进，并在该地区建立了一个共识项目，其中包括腿部溃疡护理和治疗的目标及一般性建议。为了在该地区保持腿部溃疡治疗的高质量，已成立了一个跨学科参考小组，其成员来自医院的不同诊所和初级卫生保健机构。
