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.

Cleanliness is not respected at all. The cleaning staff is simply a disgrace and not worthy of a private clinic. Without my intervention, the toilet and the sink would have been cleaned with the same cloth.

Unnecessary long waiting times for medical examinations, or physicians are otherwise engaged and do not show up at all. Too many drugs after surgery, some of which are even unnecessary. Unfortunately you have to go back there again as you dont have the choice
