In the context of the European Leonardo da Vinci project "E-Qalin", the eponymous practical and user-friendly quality management model E-Qalin^®; has been developed. E-Qalin^®; examines the services delivered and their effectiveness in respect to the satisfaction of all persons involved. E-Qalin^®; emphasises self-evaluation and encourages learning within organisations, freeing up potential for improvement and development.

E-Qalin^®; has been developed, evaluated and optimised with the participation of educational institutions, national and European interest groups, political representatives and pilot project homes. The focus lies on developing a resource-compatible quality management system for care homes that is accepted across the EU. Special versions have been developed for the following social service sectors:

• Providers of long-term/residential care services for the elderly
• Facilities and services for people with disabilities
• Day-patient/mobile services.
