Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Quality Management in Healthcare
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Internet report cards are increasingly used to present hospital quality of care information.
  • Assessing the comprehensiveness and usability of these report cards is crucial for informed healthcare decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present quality of care information available on German hospital internet report cards.
  • To develop a guidance tool for effectively utilizing these hospital report cards.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic internet search to identify relevant hospital report cards.
  • Application of inclusion and exclusion criteria for report card selection.
  • Development of a scheme to categorize and analyze presented quality information.

Main Results:

  • 18 hospital report cards were included in the analysis, with 8 providing nationwide and 10 regional data.
  • The AOK Krankenhaus-navigator offers the most information on 5 clinical areas of external quality assurance.
  • TK Klinikführer, Barmer Krankenhausnavi, and Weisse Liste provide extensive quality information across 26 clinical areas.

Conclusions:

  • A clinical area-specific approach is essential when evaluating hospital quality information.
  • Further research is recommended to assess the quality of report cards and their displayed information.
