Recommendations for the implementation of GMDS events
The aim of the recommendations is to define the financial and organisational framework for the preparation and implementation of GMDS scientific events (annual meetings, workshops, etc.) and to provide guidance and assistance to the organisers. In doing so, all facets of an event are outlined, its schedule is set and its responsibilities are defined.

Code of conduct of the GMDS - Procedure for the conduct of GMDS events
Time and time again, the GMDS and its subdivisions are confronted with the question of how to deal with industry sponsoring. On the one hand, sponsorships are greatly appreciated and without them many events would not be feasible; on the other hand, any appearance of influencing decisions - directly or indirectly - must be avoided. The GMDS Executive Committee has therefore decided to compile these binding recommendations for all GMDS events and to make them publicly known on the internet.

Recommendation of the GMDS on dealing with third-party funding
Several cases of the tobacco industry exerting influence on German scientists, which have been widely discussed in public both in Germany and abroad, had prompted the GMDS Executive Committee to appoint a commission chaired by the President and ask it to draw up recommendations for safeguarding the independence of scientific research when it is funded by potentially interest-driven third parties.

Terms and concepts of quality management - 3rd edition
Everyone talks about quality and quality management - but do we mean the same thing? The glossary "Terms and Concepts of Quality Management", first published in this form in 1996 and completely revised in 2003, is now available in its 3rd edition after further updating. Current developments in quality management in health care facilities have been taken into account, especially in the fields of patient safety, risk management, quality presentation, evaluation and certification of quality management systems and integrated management systems.
