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.
Small, highly specialized hospital. Professionals at work. Treatment, care and cuisine are excellent.
About the surgery:
I was treated in the clinic for pancreatic cancer, which required the removal of my pancreas. From the very first moment, the care I received from the entire team at Beau Site and the specialized pancreas clinic was outstanding. (surgeon: Dr. Kaspar Z'graggen)
