Description
2026 is Vienna's turn: ÖQMED invites every practice and group practice in Vienna to self-evaluate under the Quality Assurance Regulation 2024. This course explains the duties behind it in short lessons, with the paragraph for every statement.
Every lesson has narrated slides, a checklist to tick off and a quiz question. The lessons follow the criteria of the QS-VO 2024, from availability (§ 4) to quality management (§ 26). The hygiene lessons rest on the Medical Chamber's Hygiene Regulation, which § 7 refers to. The course ends with what comes after the evaluation.
Who this course is for
- Doctors whose practice is evaluated in 2026
- Group practices that must decide who fills in the questionnaire
- Practice assistants who keep the records
About this course
Written in Vienna as a free learning resource for practices and their teams. The course follows the wording of the legal sources linked in every lesson, but hasn't been reviewed by an expert yet. Pointers to mistakes are very welcome: info@globalapps.top.
Not legal advice. What counts is the text of the QS-VO 2024 in the Federal Legal Information System (version of 3 October 2026) and the Austrian Medical Chamber's Hygiene Regulation 2014. Not an offer of ÖQMED, the BIQG or the Medical Chamber.
