Zusammenfassung
Einleitung
In der patientenzentrierten Medizin erlangt die Kommunikation unter den Behandlern onkologischer Patienten zunehmend an Bedeutung. Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchung war die Evaluation der subjektiven Einschätzung der Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit zwischen Universitätsklinik und niedergelassenen Ärzten.
Methode
Die Niedergelassenen erhielten in den anonymisierten Fragebögen die Möglichkeit, die Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit sowohl der Universitätsklinik generell als auch die der Neuroonkologischen Sprechstunde mit den Noten 1 bis 6 zu bewerten. Weiterhin wurde um Verbesserungsvorschläge bezüglich der Kommunikation und nach Wünschen zu weiterführenden Informationsveranstaltungen gefragt.
Ergebnis
Insgesamt wurden 1000 Fragebögen verschickt, die Antwortrate betrug 15,5 %. Der Bewertungsdurchschnitt für die Kommunikation der Universitätsklinik im Gesamten erreichte 2,62 und der Neuroonkologischen Sprechstunde 2,28. Die am häufigsten Verbesserungsvorschläge zur Kommunikation beinhalteten „die telefonische Benachrichtigung“ (44 %) und „ein konstanter Ansprechpartner“ (49 %). Etwa 60 % der Kollegen befürworten die Etablierung eines webbasierten elektronischen Tumorboards.
Diskussion und Fazit
Die Umfrage verdeutlicht die Bedeutung der Kommunikation zwischen niedergelassenen Ärzten und universitären Zentren bei der Versorgung neuroonkologischer Patienten. Die Kommunikation zwischen Niedergelassenen und großen Versorgungszentren könnte mit den mittlerweile zur Verfügung stehenden elektronischen Mitteln unter der Beachtung des Datenschutzes eine wesentliche Verbesserung erfahren.
Abstract
Introduction
Communication between university medical centers and general practitioners (GP) is becoming increasingly more important in supportive patient care. A survey among GPs was performed with the primary objective to assess their opinion on current workflow and communication between GPs and the university medical center.
Methods
The GPs were asked to score (grades 1–6) their opinion on the current interdisciplinary workflow in the care of patients with brain tumors, thereby rating communication between a university medical center in general and the neuro-oncology outpatient center in particular.
Results
Questionnaires were sent to1000 GPs and the response rate was 15 %. The mean scored evaluation of the university medical center in general was 2.62 and of the neuro-oncological outpatient clinic 2.28 (range 1–6). The most often mentioned issues to be improved were easier/early telephone information (44 %) and a constantly available contact person (49 %). Interestingly, > 60 % of the GPs indicated they would support web-based tumor boards for interdisciplinary and palliative neuro-oncological care.
Conclusion
As interdisciplinary care for neuro-oncology patients is an essential part of therapy, improvement of communication between GPs and university medical centers is indispensable. Integrating currently available electronic platforms under data protection aspects into neuro-oncological palliative care could be an interesting tool in order to establish healthcare networks and could find acceptance with GPs.
