Compared to the rest of Germany: Above-average number of patients recommend the Sportklinik Hellersen.
Particularly good results with implantation of joint replacements
Of 601 patient evaluations, 89 percent recommend the Sportklinik Hellersen. This was the result of the clinic comparison of the AOK Northwest, which was recently published. Using the health navigator on the AOK website, patients can find out which clinic has particularly good results with regard to which scheduled operation and include this information in their decision for or against a facility. In addition to hospitals, doctors and midwives are also compared.
In a nationwide comparison, the Sportklinik Hellersen has a very high patient satisfaction rate of 89 percent and above-average results in the implantation of hip and knee joint replacements as well as knee prosthesis replacements. The national average is 81 percent. For the evaluation, the AOK takes into account, among other things, complication-related readmissions and the mortality rate after an operation. It uses data on treatments in the respective hospitals as well as patient surveys. The hospital comparison showed that the Sportklinik Hellersen is less likely to experience complications after surgery than other hospitals and, as a result, fewer follow-up operations are necessary at the Lüdenscheid-based specialty clinic.
"The good result is the result of our extensive experience and the high expertise of our top physicians. We are pleased that this comparison reflects our quality in black and white and that our patients are extremely satisfied with our performance," says Dirk Burghaus, Chairman of the Board of the Sportklinik Hellersen. However, the clinic certainly does not want to rest on its laurels. "It is an incentive for us to become even better and to continue to offer our patients the highest possible service - both medically and humanly," adds Dirk Burghaus.
