Profile of the key figure patient number rehab (total per clinic)
About the indicator «Total patient numbers»
Measured as number of discharges per calendar year.
Strengths:
The total number of patients is an objective and reliable indicator of the size of the hospital and therefore a good proxy for the experience a hospital has with disease patterns, diagnosis and therapy. In case your disease is rare, this is of particular importance. Additionally, a bigger hospital usually has more extensive technical equipment.
Limits:
Also in large hospitals there is no guarantee that there is a lot of experience with a particular disease. Knowledgeable stakeholders changing jobs and leaving the hospital for example can lead to a loss of such expertise. Please also be careful with the inverse conclusion: smaller hospitals can by all means be specialized in a specific therapeutic area and reach high patient numbers and expert knowledge. If available, it is therefore preferable you rely on specific patient numbers.
