Quality Management - Radiology / Nuclear Medicine
In our practice, the central goal is quality assurance and continuous quality improvement implementation within the context of high quality but simultaneously economical patient care.
The physicians' association has established directives requiring physicians to implement and maintain a high level of Quality Management (QM). With our quality management system, we fully comply with these regulations with our quality management system.
Our practice Köln-City is certified according to ISO 9001:2008; our practice Köln-West has adapted a system modeled based on the special requirements of the location. It regulates the various processes of our authentic practice activities for physicians and employees. The system is implemented in form of work instructions, checklists, and forms. These are available to all employees, they are updated regularly, and all staff members must follow their content.

- Patient oriented actions

- Best possible examination techniques
- Working closely with referring physicians
- Consistent use of the expertise of all staff members
