Marc Berg, MD, PhD, is Partner at Plexus Medical Group, a Health Care Consultancy Group, and Professor of Social Medicine in the Department of Health Policy and Management of Erasmus University Rotterdam. He studied medicine and health sciences at the University of Maastricht. His main interests are the generation and organization of ‘high quality’ and ‘low cost’ health care practices, both at the level of the health care practices itself, and on the system level. Performance management, and the public presentation of performance measures, is important in this regard. He has been active in the introduction of national, obligatory public performance information on the quality and safety of hospital care. He is also deeply involved in measuring and benchmarking patient safety and efficacy for internal (non-public) purposes. He has published widely on medical sociology, sociology of technology, standardization, information technology and quality management.
