The terminology for quality in medical practice is over-complex, confusing and often applied indiscriminately. Such terms are meant to contribute to the understanding of medical performance and to be used as tools for its improvement. In order to be able to understand each other and to perform quality assessment a set of comprehensible terms and concise definitions of those terms is needed. This article defines and discusses in alphabetical order some of the most important Norwegian medical quality terms, giving the corresponding expressions in English. The aim of the authors is to create a Norwegian reference for medical quality terminology, modified to conform with international literature. This is a continuous process, as are other areas of quality assessment, and for the present time we recommend that these definitions be used as standard terminology for Norwegian medical quality assessment.

In 1976 the Norwegian Medical Association instituted the General Practitioner Scholarship. A total of 36 scholarship months is granted each year, available for small scientific projects lasting a maximum of six months. This article presents the results of an evaluation based on data from the recipients of the scholarships (n = 107) and from rejected applicants (n = 76) during the period 1986-94, and from the four University Departments of General Practice in Norway. 85 (80%) recipients, involved in 95 projects, responded to a mailed questionnaire. 60 (72%) had published one scientific article or more from their project. 64 (70%) of the projects had evolved from questions raised in the recipients' own daily practice, the main topics being clinical issues and community medicine. More than two thirds of the recipients were still doing scientific work. All informants recognised the importance of the General Practice Scholarship for research and development in Norwegian primary health care.
