Abstract
Quality assurance and performance evaluations, have become central issues in medicine.
There are several studies which indicates that general patients care is suboptimal in many
different medical conditions and clinical settings1,2. Delivering high-quality care is important to all
clinicians, but this issue may be more relevant to certain subgroups, such as those with less
specialised training and those who deal with smaller number of patients3. There is also a
general believe that the longer clinicians are in practice the more experienced they will be, and
therefore it is assumed that this group of medical doctors are able to provide a high quality of
care. But there are some studies that found a consistently or partially negative association. The
aim of this report is to discuss this subject further and reach some conclusions.
