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.

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..

Gynecology / Obstetrics: This hospital has a very sensitive, well-cared-for atmosphere. The midwives and practitioners form a team and combine their activities well. There is also plenty of room for in-depth conversations, therapies as well as for arriving in the new family constellation.

Caesarean section. Was still a positive "birth experience". Top support by midwife. My daughter was immediately placed on my chest as soon as it was clear that all was ok. The clinic estimates the mother-child relationship highly. Very good counselling, wound care, etc. (surgeon: Dr. Waldemar Schmidt)

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

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.

Quite a good hospital... The atmosphere is often hectic, as it is in many large hospitals... The birth section is also very good although a modernization of rooms or buildings is desirable, and will be done in the near future.
