Abstract
With a growing emphasis on value-based reimbursement, developing quality indicators for infectious diseases has gained attention. Quality indicators for fever of unknown origin and inflammation of unknown origin are lacking. An assembled group of international experts developed 12 quality measures for these conditions, which could be validated with additional study.
