Topics 2. Internal quality assurance
Development of QM in Germany 2013: - Mandatory certification of rehabilitation hospitals, - quality assurance report with 289 quality indicators, - patients rights law 1975: Quality Control: Munich perinatal study 1989: external quality assurance 1997-2000: Demonstration project QM 2004: G-BA 2000: Internal QM,federal governing board for quality assurance 2005: Quality assurance report, Alliance Action for patient safety Increasing requirements for proving and for transparency
Organisations developing quality assurance • National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds • National Association of StatutoryHealth Insurance Physicians • National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Dentists • German Hospital Federation • Federal Medical Chamber • Council of Nursing
Legal framework Social Code Five (SGB V) • § 70 SGB V: Quality, Humanity and Economic Efficiency • Health care for the Insured according to the recognized medical evidence • Sufficient, advisable and not exceeding the extend of necessity • According to the professionally required quality
Legal framework Social Code Five (SGB V) • Since the year 2000 steadily more specific and demanding: • § 135a SGB V: Requirements for quality assurance • Implementation and further development of an internal QM • Participation in measures for external quality assurance • § 137 SGB V: Regulations and decisions for QM • Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) formulates basic requirements for an internal QM and • defines quality indicators for the legally requested quality report
Common Federal Council Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) • Highest regulating committee of the self governing authority of the health care partners • Regulatory competency • Defines services of health professions to bepaid by the health insurance funds • QM in the medical care • Regulations in quality management:internal QM, external quality assurance (=quality control), quality report G-BA (Federal Joint Committee) Medical Profess-ions Medical Care Dental Surgeon Hospitals Health Insurance Funds
Requirements for an internal QM in Germany Mandatory elements of the internal QM according to the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) Efficiency Patient orientation Process orientation Elements of the internal QM Target-orientation and flexibility Responsibility and leadership Continuous improvement Preventing and handling of failures Employee-orientation, cooperation and participation

AWMF Guidelines • Working Group of the Scientific Medical Associations (AWMF): • Systematicallydeveloped (Evidencebasedmedicine) • Describe the Currentstateof the art and medicalscience • Ascertain the decisionmakingproceduresofdoctors and patients in respectto an adequatemedicaldiagnostic and treatmentstandardforspecificdiseasesorhealthproblems • Clear recommendationstoactbased on assessementsof the scientificvalue and usabilityofstudyresults
Clinical relevance of the AWMF Guidelines • AWMF: • Guidelines arecorridorsfor the medicaldecisions and actions • Deviationsarepossible in certaincases, but reasonshavetobestated • The workflowaccordingto the scientificguidelinesof the AWMF hastobeadaptedto the individual applicability in an individual situationaccordingto the parameters • indication • consultation, • preferences • participation in decisionmaking
Classifications of AWMF guidelines AWMF: • S1: Recommendationsofscientific expert groups • S2: Guidelines based on evidence (S2e) orconsensusof a disciplinerepresentingcommittee (S2k) • S3: Guidelines based on evidenceaswellas on theconsensusof a disciplinerepresentingcommittee Remark: • In Germany itisimportantfor the doctorsliabilitytoobey in detailat least the S-3 guidelines (and a must togetsomecertificationslikeOnkoZert)

ISO-Certification • 1. Select a certifying organisation • 2. Formal pre-check of the certification application 3. Certifying organisation defines audit team • 4. Audit stage 1 • 5. Audit stage 2 • 6. Issuance of the certificate for 3 years • 7. Yearlyconformity audits

Market share of Certification Schemes Acutehospitals: • about 40 % of the acute hospitals in Germany are certified in General Certification Schemes (status 2012) • Many hospitals are additionally certified in specific disease certification Schemes Rehabilitation hospitals: • Each rehabilitation hospital is mandatorily required to show its valid certificate Market Share of Certification Schemes in German acute hospitals Source: DKA, 2012
Certification Schemes in owner sectors Distribution of KTQ and ISO Certifications in owner-sectors: • ISO certification: more frequently at private acute hospital owners • KTQ certification: more frequently in charity based and publicacute hospitals Certification distribution Source: DKA, 2012
JCI-Certifications These three hospitals are certified in Germany according to JCI: • Central Military Hospital Koblenz • Clinics of Red Cross Berlin • Communal Central Hospital Chemnitz
Standards ISO QM Standards: • DIN EN ISO 9000:2005, Quality management systems- Fundamentals and vocabulary • DIN EN ISO 9001:2008, Quality management systems, Requirements • DIN EN 15224:2012, Health care services - Quality management system
Assessment after 20 years QM experience Preferredisstructured QM approachof ISO type but onlywithspecialtouchtomeet the healthsectorsneeds: • Development in the health-caresector in understandablelanguageof the healthcare professionals • Focus on patientorientation • Evidencebasedmedicine • Risk-management • Preventionofdefects and non-conformities • Usablefor all health-careorganisations • Forsmall and verycomplexorganisationswith all necessaryaspects (patientcare, medicalcompetence, clinicalpathways etc.)
The prospective Standard in Europe DIN EN 15224:2012 • Defines ISO 9001 for the health-care sector • Specifically designed for all healthcare services • Requirements to the QM-system • Will become the main certification standard • Language of the health-care sector • Emphasizes the process orientation and risk-management • Three standards: clinical process, process of science and process of teaching • Combined certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 is possible
Associations emphasizing and influencing QM Examples for associations of medical doctors • German Association of hematology and oncology (DGHO) • German diabetes Association (DDG) • Association of children hospitals and children departments in Germany e.V. (GKindDe.V.) • German Association of orthopedics and traumatology (DGOU) • German association of angiology (DGA) Example for other associations • German Cancer Association (DKG)
