Patient analysis

Functions of the patient analysis

The patient analysis is based on the DRG statistics of the Federal Statistical Office. This data contains the case numbers and mentions of the documented ICD-10 (in main and secondary diagnosis) and OPS of the full inpatient cases, stating the gender and age of the patients treated. This data is available from 2006 onwards. The patient analysis data also contains information on the length of stay of the patients in the main diagnosis as well as additional information on the single and multiple mention of the procedures performed per case. This makes it possible to quickly evaluate how often a service is provided on average per case.

Trend progressions show changes in the number of cases across the main diagnosis and changes in the documentation of secondary diagnoses or surgical, diagnostic or therapeutic procedures performed in a matter of seconds.
