At the 74th World Health Assembly (2021), the World Health Organization (WHO) presented a global action plan to prevent health threats and harm to patients arising from healthcare (World Health Organization, 2021). Strategic Goal 4 of this action plan explicitly calls for active patient involvement (PD) in the further development of healthcare. Given the continued significant number of preventable adverse events in medical healthcare, even in Germany, the tenth National Health Goal on Patient Safety was established in 2022 (Holtz & Jonitz, 2023). This goal also calls for the active involvement of patients, their relatives, or representatives, e.g., through the use of appropriate tools. B. by promoting patient safety competence and supporting patients in their active participation in the development of measures.

As a long-requested regulatory model, more competition should contribute to improving economic efficiency, demand orientation and the quality of care. However, in addition to positive effects, the increased supply variance (due to competitive dynamics) leads to an information imbalance on the demand side, which makes a complete market overview impossible. More and more seals of approval, certificates, awards and ratings are providing guidance to consumers, whose current inflationary escalation is, in turn, leading to uncertainty. For this reason, this omnibus study by the Department of Prevention and Health Promotion at APOLLON University examined the point of view of healthcare decision-makers on the use and effects of quality seals.
