Zusammenfassung

Einleitung

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Allgemein- und Viszeralchirurgie (DGAV) trägt mit ihrer Initiative, chirurgischen Abteilungen Zertifikate zu verleihen, dazu bei, die Qualität der Kliniken zu verbessern und transparent zu machen. Hierzu stellt die Zertifizierungsordnung hohe personelle und strukturelle Anforderungen.

Ziele

Die Umfrage der Chirurgischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft Adipositastherapie und metabolische Chirurgie (CAADIP) 2017 sollte klären, welchen Herausforderungen und Hindernissen sich CAADIP-Mitglieder im Rahmen der Zertifizierung zum Zentrum für Adipositas- und metabolische Chirurgie stellen müssen.

Methodik

Zwischen Februar und März 2017 wurden alle 417 Mitglieder der CAADIP webbasiert zur Teilnahme an einer Umfrage eingeladen, die den Fokus auf die aktuelle Versorgungslage legte.

Ergebnis

Insgesamt 214 (51 %) CAADIP-Mitglieder beteiligten sich. 47 % sind nicht an einem zertifizierten Zentren und 53 % an einem zertifizierten Zentrum tätig. Diese verteilen sich zu 68 % auf Kompetenz-, 21 % auf Referenz- und 11 % auf Exzellenzzentren. 86 % der an nichtzertifizierten Zentren Tätigen gaben an, eine DGAV-Zertifizierung anzustreben. Die Neugründung eines bariatrischen Schwerpunkts ist für 54 % ein Grund, nicht zertifiziert zu sein. Fehlende Eingriffszahlen waren zu 71 %, fehlende personelle Strukturen zu 28 % und fehlende Krankenhausinfrastruktur zu 13 % ein Grund nicht zertifiziert zu sein. 24 % der Befragten gaben an, dass der Krankhausträger kein Interesse an einer Zertifizierung habe und 12 % der Antwortenden sahen selbst keine Notwendigkeit.

Schlussfolgerung

Die DGAV-Zertifizierung wird vom größten Teil der CAADIP-Mitglieder angestrebt. Die Haupthindernisse auf dem Weg zur Zertifizierung sind zeitliche Vorgaben (Referenzjahre) und die geforderten Mindestfallzahlen.

Abstract

Introduction

The certification and accreditation process of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) aims to improve the quality of care and enhance transparency in accredited centers. To achieve these goals a high level of infrastructural and staffing requirements are set out by the DGAV.

Aims

The Surgical Working Group on Obesity Treatment and Metabolic Surgery (CAADIP) survey 2017 of the members of the German Bariatric Society aimed to identify the perceived and encountered barriers in the DGAV accreditation process.

Methods

Between February and March 2017 an online poll was conducted of all members of the CAADIP on topics pertaining to the accreditation process.

Results

A total of 214 (51%) CAADIP members participated in the poll, 47% reported that they worked at a non-certified center and 53% worked at a DGAV certified center. Of these, 68% reported employment in a unit with the lowest accreditation level, 21% in an intermediate level center, 11% reported employment in a unit with the highest accreditation level (Center of Excellence) and 86% of those currently working in non-accredited units stated that they aimed for future accreditation. Reasons stated for not having obtained accreditation were recent establishment of the new bariatric specialty (54%), lack of bariatric case numbers (71%), lack of human resources and infrastructure (28% and 13%, respectively). Of those surgeons in non-accredited centers 24% stated that the hospital management had no interest in a certification and 12% of the surgeons themselves felt that accreditation was unnecessary.

Conclusion

The majority of CAADIP members strived for DGAV certification. The main barriers encountered and perceived were the specific time (reference years) and caseload requirements.
