A new quality project focused on the indications for invasive procedures was implemented in a catheterization laboratory. This initiative enhances transparency in medical performance, ensuring appropriate use and addressing the rise in coronary interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular medicine
  • Health services research
  • Quality improvement science

Context:

  • Implementation of a new catheterization laboratory.
  • Involvement of health insurance companies as budget holders.
  • External quality control by medical services (MDK).

Purpose:

  • To implement a quality project focusing on indications for invasive/interventional procedures.
  • To make medical performance transparent regarding adequate indication.
  • To provide a rational approach to the increasing frequency of catheter-based coronary interventions.

Summary:

  • A quality project was initiated focusing on the indications for invasive and interventional procedures.
  • The project emphasizes the transparency of medical performance, particularly concerning adequate indication.
