The Journal of Evidence, Further Education and Quality in Health Care (ZEFQ; English name: Journal of Evidence and Quality in Health Care ) is a German medical and health science journal .

Origin, name

ZEFQ was founded in 1904 by Ernst von Bergmann , Martin Kirchner and Robert Kutner as a journal for advanced medical training (ZaeF) by Gustav Fischer Verlag , Jena. This makes it one of the oldest German-language medical journals. The publication was only discontinued in the years 1946 to 1948.

The journal operated from 1997 to 2003 as the magazine for medical training and quality assurance (ZaeFQ) and from 2004 to 2007 under the title of the magazine for medical training and quality in health care (ZaeFQ).

Originally conceived as an interdisciplinary medical journal, the ZaeF was one of the most widely read medical journals in the GDR (see list of newspapers and magazines in the GDR ).

Since the mid-1990s, ZaeFQ has concentrated on the areas of quality assurance in medicine and evidence-based medicine . From 2008, the ZEFQ readership was expanded to include all healing and health professions .
