Quality-indicators of hospitals and clinics in Switzerland:
Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), infection rate
For hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), meaningful, risk-adjusted infection rates are currently available for 8 Swiss hospitals. 839 patients were monitored in these hospitals. The average hospital infection rate in hysterectomy was 4.7%; the highest infection rate observed in a clinic was 14.1%. The lowest risk-adjusted infection rate in hysterectomy was measured in the Bethesda Spital, Basel (0.6% hospital infection cases).
Measured as the ratio of expected and observed numbers of infections after certain types of surgery.
Strengths:
Infections are risky and associated with more distress. A low infection rate is an indicator of good hygiene and a high quality treatment process. The infection rates are risk adjusted by Swissnoso using three additional measurements. This elaborate form of risk adjustment fulfills high scientific standards.
Limits:
Unfortunately, infection rates are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, infection rates are only meaningful when a sufficient number of cases is reached. Especially with interventions with a low risk of infections the needed number of cases is very high and is only reached by large hospitals. For small hospitals it is often not possible to give a meaningful statement (while small case numbers are per se unfavorable, especially with complex interventions).
Experience similar to a stay in a hotel. Everybody took great care of me and the food was like at my granny's. An outrageous surgeon whom I highly recommend. The great surgical achievement plus the extraordinary care deserves 10 points!
