Abstract
Quality is defined differently by different individuals.1 The Concise Oxford Dictionary2 defines it as “the degree of excellence of a thing”. For medical care, quality can be defined as “that kind of care which is expected to maximize an inclusive measure of patient welfare, after one has taken account of the balance of expected gains and losses that attend the process of care in all its parts.”3
