- Abstract:
- During the observation period between 2001 and 2003, all outpatient surgical therapy, including degrees of urgency, surgical care volume, regional provenance of patients, diagnoses, and referral channels were prospectively analysed at the Surgical Department of the University of Heidelberg, Germany. The data gathered do not merely describe the volume and characteristics of care encountered at this academic surgical institution but also provide further insight into the variability of resource utilisation and associated patient flow. Additionally, a retrospective evaluation using structured interviews and questionnaires was performed to differentiate and quantify patient care, teaching, and research activities. This study illustrates the high relevance of academic outpatient institutions to regional provision of general surgical care in Germany. There is a clear dominance of medical support functions, while research and teaching activities are of only minor relevance and realised particularly in subspecialty clinics. These data should give important stimuli for the future planning of health care in Germany. Outpatient clinics for general surgery appear to be an excellent basis for regional models of integrated health care delivery in the future.
