The Zeitschrift für Ärztliche Fortbildung und Qualitätssicherung, now known as the Zeitschrift für Evidenz, Fortbildung und Qualität im Gesundheitswesen (ZEFQ), is a leading German-language peer-reviewed journal focusing on medical education, healthcare quality improvement, and evidence-based clinical practice. Established in 1997, it has a long tradition of supporting continuous professional development for physicians and healthcare professionals. The journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and policy-relevant studies aimed at improving healthcare systems and patient outcomes. It plays a central role in promoting evidence-based medicine in German-speaking countries and internationally. Topics include quality assurance in clinical practice, patient safety initiatives, evaluation of medical interventions, and health services research. Over time, the journal has evolved from a physician training-focused publication into a modern interdisciplinary platform integrating research, clinical practice, and healthcare policy. It is widely indexed in international databases and serves as an important reference for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare administrators seeking to improve medical quality standards.
