[Accreditation of Danish general practice. Integrated quality development and continuing education].

An accreditation system for Danish general practices is an important element in the Danish Healthcare Quality Programme. In the present article the Danish Quality Unit of General Practice (DAK-E) and the Danish Institute for Quality and Accreditation in Heath Care (IKAS) recommend a comprehensive and information and communication technology-based system of accreditation, feedback and facilitated systematic development and continuous medical education. The overall goal is to further a learning culture in the primary sector based on accountability, transparency and collaboration across sectors.
