AQUA

AQUA develops scientifically-based quality indicators which enable fair comparisons between health care providers and health care institutions. AQUA is supported in this by numerous experts from different sectors and patient representatives. The Federal Joint Committee governs the further concrete implementation (e.g. structures and data streams) into the health care system.

The contract with the Federal Joint Committee includes the continuation and further development of the current system of external quality assurance in hospitals (including external comparisons and benchmarking), which started some years ago.

Hospitals provide the corresponding agencies on a regional (“Länder”) level with information which than handle it to AQUA. Only for very specialized procedures (such as transplant medicine, for example) does the information go directly to the AQUA Institute.

From now on, the following sectors will be dealt with: inpatient contracted doctors and dentists, outpatient operations, outpatient treatment in the hospital (§ 116b SGB V) and disease management programs. Good co- peration with the German system of selfgovernance agencies will be a major goal here.

Partnerships

The AQUA Institute intensively co-operates with scientific partners.

These include:

Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Scientific Institute for Quality of Healthcare, Prof. Michel Wensing
University Hospital Heidelberg, Institute for Medical Biometry and Informatics, Prof. Meinhard Kieser
University Hospital Heidelberg, Dept. of General Practice and Health Services Research, Prof. Joachim Szecsenyi
