Abstract

Since 2015, the requirement for data transparency has been met in Germany by publishing structured quality reports in licensed hospitals, but one of the main concerns of patients, namely treatment safety, has not been a prominent feature of these reports. Therefore, this study was undertaken to find out what examples of improved patient safety have been published in Germany in the last 10 years. A systematic literature search identified 10 studies which highlight the quantitatively measured success of 13 interventions.
