Quality in Chiropractic Practice (KviK)
KviK consists of four quality consultants who work primarily on developing and implementing a new quality model. The quality model should build on existing knowledge and experience with quality development in chiropractic practice.
KviK collaborates with quality units in other areas of the healthcare sector and participates as an observer in WICC (WONCA International Classification Committee). WICC works with classification systems, especially ICPC, which we use in Denmark for diagnostic coding in chiropractic practice and other parts of the primary sector.
