All information about the hospitals' annual quality reports via a central access - this is what the new Qb data portal has been offering since the end of January
Hospitals, software manufacturers and interested parties can use the portal to find the service files for reporting, the plausibility check service and the acceptance point for quality reports. As part of the work on the Qb data portal, the plausibility check service was also improved: the results are presented more clearly for report creators and are now also available for download as a PDF document. There is also a page with FAQs about the plausibility check service.
Reference database with advanced functions
For insured persons and interested parties, the so-called reference database, in which the complete quality reports of each hospital location are provided, also offers expanded functions: The most current quality reports are no longer only available as a PDF document, but are also available in an interactive web view, which is a simple Detailed search within a report by keywords. There is also an FAQ section for the reference database. · The ability to download machine-usable XML data is also new: The XML data can be requested using an online order form and then accessed in the access-protected download area.
Background: Hospital quality reports
In Germany, hospitals have been legally required to produce structured quality reports since 2005. This gives anyone interested access to independent information about hospitals' structures and services. Quality reports contain, for example, information on the spectrum of diagnosis and treatment, the frequency of treatment, staffing levels, the number of complications with certain services and accessibility. On behalf of the legislature, the G-BA determines what information quality reports contain and how they must be structured and provided.
