Profile of the key figure inpatient childbirth, patient number

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.

The gynecological clinic was excellent; I was completely satisfied. They supported me competently and lovingly throughout my entire pregnancy. I also felt very comfortable during the birth and the days afterward. I would choose this hospital again anytime.

Midwife team top/friendly. Caesarean section was necessary. Epidural intravenous (can prove birth report). Consequence: Baby in neonatology - I couldn't see it again until 17 hours later. Doctor anesthesiologist: where people work, mistakes happen - thank you! Invoice for deductible neonatology followed!!

Caesarean section. Previously intravenous epidural anesthesia - consequence: baby had to go to neonatal unit - I couldn't see it for 17 hours Anesthesiologist: where people work, mistakes happen... Possibly. would an APOLOGY have been more appropriate?! The top: Invoice for neonatology deductible..

I gave birth to my child in the KSO on May 27th, 21st, and although I went into labor at midnight and the birth was not that uncomplicated, I am very satisfied with the care. The midwives were all very professional and friendly, responded quickly to every request

 unverified rating about the Spital Bülach

Birth: My wife gave birth in Bülach Hospital. Unfortunately, the doctors reacted too quickly and induced labor with hormones late in the evening. This was not necessary and the baby's heartbeat could have been monitored for a little longer and not just 35 minutes.

The whole team was very professional. I had a difficult labor process that ended with a caesarean section. My husband and I were very happy that we chose Hirslanden Aarau. I felt very safe from my arrival to my discharge.

Not optimally cared for at birth. Due to the midwife's lack of time, we were not looked after 1:1. The doctor was also not competent. PDA wasn't set optimally either. In the end, a caesarean section was done because unfortunately no effort was made to give birth naturally

Was in the Limmat Hospital to give birth. Midwives and doctors were extremely friendly, empathetic, and professional. The food and the childcare was also great. Can highly recommend this hospital

Obstetric and maternity ward hopelessly overloaded in summer of 2018, since (according to the midwife) instructions were not to refuse any patient. Therefore lack of care, denial of a PDA (takes too long), traumatic birth. Great staff, unfortunately without time.
