This article describes how hospitals in Denmark have tried to meet the quality challenge. How to improve health care has been a topic of debate in Denmark in the last decade, and various authorities and professional organizations have implemented quality improvement initiatives. A 1991 survey of Danish hospitals showed that methods of quality improvement and the responsibility for quality management were still issues in need of further clarification. This article illustrates the process of quality improvement using hospitals in the city of Copenhagen as examples.
