Questions regarding efficiency and effectiveness, and more recently regarding patients' health-related quality of life, have been raised regarding medical treatments even within the statutory accident insurance. In numerous studies regarding the statutory accident insurance authors have introduced different optimization needs in the case of good starting conditions of the statutory accident insurance medical treatments. The following study explores the possibility of applying assessment tools in the routine practice of the statutory accident insurance to measure health-related life quality. Measurement parameters of the applied tools [SF-36 (short-form health survey with 36 questions), DASH (disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand) and EQ-5D (EuroQol-5D)] are geared to the international classification of functional capability, disability and health (ICF), and take the aspects of activities and participation in different areas of life into particular consideration. From the authors' point of view, results obtained with the instruments used in this study demonstrate that quality of care in the context of statutory accident insurance can be measured from a patient perspective.
