General information

Protection concept against (sexual) violence against children and young people

Advice on prevention and intervention in cases of violence and abuse

According to Section 4 (2) of the Quality Management Guideline, facilities must provide for the prevention of and intervention in cases of violence and abuse as part of their internal quality management. The aim is to prevent, recognise and respond appropriately to abuse and violence, particularly against vulnerable patient groups such as children and adolescents or people in need of help, and also to prevent it within the facility. The respective procedure is aligned with the size of the facility, the range of services and the patients in order to define customised solutions for sensitising the teams as well as other suitable preventative and interventional measures. These may include information materials, contact addresses, training/education, codes of conduct, recommendations for action/intervention plans or comprehensive protection concepts.

Is a protection concept in place? Yes
No care for children and young people

Commentary on the protection concept

Gemäß § 4 Absatz 2 in Verbindung mit Teil B Abschnitt I § 1 der Qualitätsmanagement-Richtlinie haben sich Einrichtungen, die Kinder und Jugendliche versorgen, gezielt mit der Prävention von und Intervention bei (sexueller) Gewalt und Missbrauch bei Kindern und Jugendlichen zu befassen (Risiko- und Gefährdungsanalyse) und – der Größe und Organisationsform der Einrichtung entsprechend – konkrete Schritte und Maßnahmen abzuleiten (Schutzkonzept). In diesem Abschnitt geben Krankenhäuser, die Kinder und Jugendliche versorgen, an, ob sie gemäß § 4 Absatz 2 in Verbindung mit Teil B Abschnitt I § 1 der Qualitätsmanagement-Richtlinie ein Schutzkonzept gegen (sexuelle) Gewalt bei Kindern und Jugendlichen aufweisen.

Instruments and measures

The instruments and measures to promote drug therapy safety are presented with a focus on the typical procedures of the medication process in inpatient patient care. A special feature of the medication process in the inpatient environment is the transition management during admission and discharge. The instruments and measures listed below address structural elements, e.g. special IT equipment and work materials, as well as process aspects, such as work descriptions for particularly risky process steps or concepts for securing typical risk situations . In addition, proven measures to avoid or learn from medication errors can be specified. The hospital presents here which aspects it has already dealt with and which measures it has specifically implemented. The following aspects can be presented, if necessary using free text fields:
- Admission to hospital, including anamnesis
; Instruments and measures are presented for determining the old medication (drug history), the subsequent clinical assessment and the switch to the medication available in the hospital (house list), as well as for documenting both the patient's original medication and that for hospital treatment adapted medication.
- Medication process in the hospital
In this context, the following sub-processes are assumed as examples: drug history - prescription - patient information - drug delivery - drug use - documentation - therapy monitoring - result assessment. Instruments and measures for safe medication prescription can be presented, e.g. B. in terms of readability, clarity and completeness of the documentation, but also in terms of area of application, effectiveness, benefit-risk ratio, tolerability (including potential contraindications, interactions, etc.) and resource considerations. Information can also be provided to support reliable medication ordering, delivery and use or administration.
- Discharge
In particular, the measures taken by hospitals can be presented to ensure that information on drug therapy is structured and passed on to doctors and physicians providing further treatment, as well as the appropriate provision of patients with drug information, medication plans and medications. Drug prescriptions are made.

AMTS is the totality of measures to ensure an optimal medication process with the aim of reducing medication errors and thus avoidable risks for patients during drug therapy. A prerequisite for the successful implementation of these measures is that AMTS is practised as an integral part of daily routine in an interdisciplinary and multi-professional approach.
