[Documentation in outpatient uro-oncology : contribution of the IQUO on quality assurance and healthcare research].

The discussion on the importance of healthcare research and electronic networks in urology has taken off again with the topic "uro-cloud". This is a good thing but shows that a basic conception is still missing. The Interessenverband zur Qualitätssicherung der Arbeit niedergelassener Uro-Onkologen (IQUO, Association of Interested Parties on Quality Assurance in the Work of Uro-oncology Practitioners) has prematurely recognized the necessity of a standardized collation of healthcare data on the treatment of uro-oncological patients in the daily routine practice. The aim is to adapt and implement the standards in the field of urology.
