The University Hospital

Quality concept

Continuous improvement and high-quality service provision in the areas of health care, research and teaching characterise the quality concept at the University Hospital Tübingen. Impulses from the workforce, results from quality assurance measures and comparisons with others form the basis on which improvements are initiated. Knowledge and skills are exchanged and further developed in interdisciplinary, multi-professional teams and networks. For this purpose, methods and instruments from quality management are used professionally. This creates a lively culture of learning and togetherness.

Qualitätsbericht

Structured quality report

In the quality report of the clinic, our patients and referring physicians can inform themselves about medical services, main areas of care and services as well as quality management. The report also contains contact persons and contact addresses.

Hygiene

Maximum care houses require a full-time hospital hygienist. The hospital hygienist's task is to record and analyse any nosocomial (i.e. hospital-acquired) infections in cooperation with the hygiene specialists and the physicians in charge of hygiene in the clinic, to develop preventive measures, to translate them into practicable rules and to monitor their observance. He coordinates proactive measures to prevent and control antibiotic-resistant infectious agents in the clinic. As communication partner of the Public Health Service, he is in charge of the interface to the supervisory authorities and is also a member of the Hygiene Commission according to the Hospital Hygiene Ordinance Baden-Württemberg.

Transplantation and organ donation

Dealing with relatives in order to possibly bring about a decision on organ donation is a highly sensitive task that requires a lot of empathy and sensitivity and is therefore performed by specially trained doctors. In order to guarantee the legal obligations as well as the claim of the University Hospital as a supraregional transplant centre, a Senior Transplantation Officer has been appointed by the Board of Directors of the Hospital, who is supported by other transplantation officers in the relevant clinical areas.

The task of transplantation officers is to sensitize medical and nursing staff, patients and relatives as well as the public to the importance and urgent necessity of organ donation and to define and continuously optimize internal procedures for organ donation.

More about the staff unit

The Whistleblower Protection Act requires companies to implement a whistleblower system for submitting reports. The Act regulates the protection of persons who have obtained information about violations in connection with their professional activities or in the run-up to professional activities and report these to the designated reporting bodies (whistleblowers).

The Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) grants whistleblowers protection against disadvantages that they could face as a result of reporting violations.

Submitting a complaint

Complaints under the LkSG and compliance notices (e.g., if there are indications of violations of laws as well as internal directives) can be reported online. You can choose whether you want to report anonymously or confidentially. Both are possible.
