Evolution of Quality Concept in the Medical Field
Historically, the concept of quality in the medical field has evolved from the introduction of simple performance standards for nurses, leading to a significant decrease in mortality rates, to the modern application of quality standards in healthcare, which has resulted in lower rates of infectious diseases.
