In cardiac surgery, quality is not an abstract concept; it is measurable, controllable, and directly linked to patient safety and survival. Systematic quality control at every stage of cardiac surgery ensures that all procedures are performed in accordance with the highest international standards and contemporary scientific guidelines.
Quality documentation is an integral part of this process. Through systematic collection and analysis of data—such as surgical outcomes, complications, recovery times, and safety indicators—objective evaluation of clinical practice becomes possible. Documented data enable continuous improvement, early identification of deviations, and implementation of targeted corrective actions.
At the same time, quality documentation ensures transparency, reliability, and comparability of results at both national and international levels. In this way, patient protection is strengthened, trust is reinforced, and a culture of continuous improvement and accountability is established, forming the foundation of modern cardiac surgical care.
