About the indicator «Infection rates»

Measured as the ratio of expected and observed numbers of infections after certain types of surgery.

Strengths:

Infections are risky and associated with more distress. A low infection rate is an indicator of good hygiene and a high quality treatment process. The infection rates are risk adjusted by Swissnoso using three additional measurements. This elaborate form of risk adjustment fulfills high scientific standards.

Limits:

Unfortunately, infection rates are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, infection rates are only meaningful when a sufficient number of cases is reached. Especially with interventions with a low risk of infections the needed number of cases is very high and is only reached by large hospitals. For small hospitals it is often not possible to give a meaningful statement (while small case numbers are per se unfavorable, especially with complex interventions).

I have already written once that I do not recommend the hospital to anyone, unfortunately I was brought back to Burgdorf with an NZB. Since my stomach wasn't feeling well in the afternoon, my husband gave me a hot Jagertee, now the hospital issues a report calling me an alcoholic - that's too much

Gastro-intestinal endoscopy: all went fine, THANK you! To my surprise, already in the lateral position, with tubes, and without my glasses I was addressed by the doctor. Can't see him clearly (Position,glasses),could not have an eye to eye conversation, was dizzy and forgot telling important things-a pity
