About the indicator «Specific patient numbers»
Number of patients with a specific diagnosis or intervention (per calendar year).
Strengths:
High patient numbers with a specific diagnosis or intervention is a indicator for good knowledge and expertise. A hospital with high specific patient numbers has a lot of experience with different techniques of diagnosis and treatment (e.g. surgeries). Additionally, high specific patient numbers suggest that employees and technical equipment are up to date.
Limits:
Unfortunately, specific patient numbers are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, the relationship between patient numbers and experience/competency is not linear. Especially with very high specific patient numbers the expertise and knowledge does not increase in equal measure.
Unfortunately, there was also a nurse who could not classify the patient's behavior after a brain hemorrhage, threatened the patient and was also rude with the relatives...

About the surgery:
Head, too late!
