Análisis de la mortalidad como herramienta de mejora de la calidad asistencial en un servicio de cirugía general

We present a system of continuous self-evaluation, in which problems are recognized and a constructive attitude is adopted. The model can be extrapolated to other hospitals but the results must be evaluated in the specific context of each hospital. Nevertheless, the results can be used for monitoring within a single center over a period of years.
