Konzept einer Klinik für Intensivmedizin

BACKGROUND: Demographic change and increasing complexity are among the reasons for high-tech critical care playing a major and increasing role in today's hospitals. At the same time, intensive care is one of the most cost-intensive departments in the hospital.

PREREQUISITES: To guarantee high-quality care, close cooperation of specialised intensive care staff with specialists of all other medical areas is essential. A network of the intensive care units within the hospital may lead to synergistic effects concerning quality of care, simultaneously optimizing the use of human and technical resources.

GOAL: Notwithstanding any organisational concepts, development and maintenance of the highest possible quality of care should be of overriding importance.
