TY - JOUR T1 - Quality in Nephrology: where we came from, where we are, and where we are going to JO - Nefrología (English Edition) T2 - AU - Arenas,María Dolores AU - Alvarez-Ude,Fernando AU - García,Fernando SN - 20132514 M3 - DO - UR - https://revistanefrologia.com/en-quality-in-nephrology-where-we-articulo-X2013251408005368 AB - Care quality control is not a process that healthcare professionals in general and nephrology professionals in particular can ignore. Society itself demands us to decrease every day the variability in clinical practice, to try and achieve adequate quality results that are similar for the same care process, and to ensure the quality of the care we provide. Quality may not only consist of «good intentions», as stated a WHO report in 1991. The time when we were good simply because we said it is past; now we have to show it. All this involves a cultural change, a change in the way we understand our activity. ER -
