Internationale Qualitätsindikatoren in der Rheumatologie

Abstract

Quality measurement of medical care has become increasingly important in Germany in recent years. Essentially, three areas can be distinguished: the quality of structure, process and outcome. For the measurement of quality, quality indicators are necessary. The Federal Joint Committee has recently been responsible for defining such quality indicators. Because proposals for quality indicators for the indication for rheumatoid arthritis in have already been published in international rheumatology, we selected and translated the three most important European publications in order to present them to the rheumatology community. The ultimate aim is the initiation of a process for the joint development of quality indicators within the professional association and the two associations in Germany in order to then be able to adequately discuss these with policy-makers.

Qualität in der akutstationären Rheumatologie 2021

“…Darüber hinaus belegen die zahlreichen Aktivitäten der DGRh und auch des BDRh in den letzten Jahren, dass die Rheumatolog*innen das Ziel der kontinuierlichen Qualitätsverbesserung ernst nehmen – z. B. indem sie selbst, und zwar auf nationalem und internationalem Level, Qualitätsstandards definieren [ 2 – 5 , 7 , 10 , 19 ]. Eine Verbesserung der rheumatologischen Versorgung ist also offensichtlich ein gemeinsames Ziel von Politik und den rheumatologischen Verbänden und ihren Mitgliedern.…”
