REVIEW ARTICLE – GASTROINTESTINAL ONCOLOGY
Introduction
The investigation of quality surgical care is a multidi- mensional and complex challenge. The concept of quality may reflect different aspects of medical care, depending on the perspective under consideration such as: structure (sufficient personnel, resuscitation cart availability, working atmosphere, etc.), process process (percentage of patients fulfilling antibiotic prophylaxis protocol, patients with informed consent, etc.), and direct clinical outcomes (morbidity, mortality, wound dehiscence, etc.) can be measured as a reflection of the quality of the medical care.
