Kommentar von Johannes Brühwiler, Leiter der Arbeitsgruppe Qualität der SGAIM:
Über die Grenzen hinausschauen
EQuiP ist ein dynamisches Netzwerk in Europa, das sich seit 25 Jahren mit Qualitätsförderung im Hausarztbereich befasst. Die Geschichte von EQuiP widerspiegelt die Entwicklung der Hausarztmedizin, in der das Bewusstsein der Qualität tief verankert ist. Der internationale Austausch mit engagierten Akteuren in unterschiedlich organisierten Gesundheitswesen bringt Erfahrungen und Anregungen auf einer sehr breiten Basis ein. Der Vergleich mit anderen Organisationen zeigt Stärken und Schwächen unseres eigenen Systems und hilft in der Erarbeitung von Lösungen.
Insbesondere in der kleinen Schweiz mit den beschränkten Ressourcen sind wir auf internationale Kooperationen angewiesen, von denen wir einerseits profitieren, andererseits uns aber auch als gleichberechtigte Partner einbringen können. So ist das European Practice Assessment (EPA) als validiertes Instrument zur Qualitätsförderung in der Schweiz seit vielen Jahren verfügbar. Um sich aktiv einzubringen, sind wir auf engagierte Leute angewiesen, die bereit sind, diese Arbeit auch zu leisten. Deshalb gebührt Adrian Rohrbasser ein grosser Dank dafür, dass er diese Arbeit seit vielen Jahren sehr kompetent übernimmt.
