Medicine (healthcare) was traditionally considered an 'art'. However, it slowly, with the establishment of analytical methods of work, became 'science' and today it is usually classified as a 'service'. Therefore, profound understanding of what medicine truly is (art or science or service or a combination of these) is crucial for all processes leading to the improvement of quality of health care.
