The reference range indicates the results at which a facility can be assumed to provide good quality of care, although deviations are possible. The reference range thus establishes a benchmark for the evaluation of facilities. A result outside the reference range is initially considered conspicuous. This usually entails an analysis by means of a statement procedure. It should be noted that a quality result outside the reference range is not synonymous with a lack of quality of the facility in the quality aspect considered here. The deviation can also be due, for example, to incorrect documentation, medical specificity of the patient collective or individual cases. The evaluation of quality is carried out within the framework of the defined procedure in the comments procedure. More detailed information on reference areas can be found at the following link: https://iqtig.org/das-iqtig/grundlagen/methodische-grundlagen.

Specialist note IQTIG
This indicator is a quality indicator relevant to planning. Sites with a statistical anomaly are requested by the IQTIG to submit a statement. The aim of this commenting procedure is to clarify whether there are reasons to conclude that the quality results are not inadequate despite statistical anomalies. The assessment of quality in the context of the subsequent technical clarification is carried out by IQTIG with the support of expert commissions. The results for this indicator and the assessment of quality are forwarded to the Land authorities responsible for hospital planning, to the Land associations of health insurance funds and to the substitute health insurance funds. More detailed information on the quality indicators relevant to planning can be found at the following link, https://www.iqtig.org/qs-instrumente/planungsrelevante-qualitaetsindikatoren/. The reference range indicates in which range the results of an indicator are assessed as inconspicuous. A facility with a result outside the reference range is initially mathematically conspicuous: this usually entails an analysis in the Structured Dialogue. It should be noted that an indicator result outside the reference range is not synonymous with a lack of quality of the facility in the quality aspect considered here. The deviation may also be attributable, for example, to faulty documentation or to individual cases. Quality is assessed within the framework of the structured dialogue with the facilities. The results of this quality indicator are only comparable with the previous year's results to a limited extent due to adjustments in the QA filter. More information on the adjustments made can be found in the description of the quality indicators under the following link, https://iqtig.org/qs-verfahren/.

The reference range indicates the range in which the results of an indicator are assessed as normal. A facility with a result outside the reference range is initially computationally conspicuous, which usually results in an analysis in the structured dialog. It should be noted that an indicator result outside the reference range is not synonymous with a poor quality of the facility in the quality aspect considered here. The deviation can also e.g. be traceable to incorrect documentation or to individual cases. Quality is assessed in the context of the structured dialogue with the institutions. The results of this quality indicator can only be compared to the previous year's results to a limited extent due to adjustments to the calculation rule of the indicator.

If operations are often performed within the first 7 days after diagnosis, this could a. indicate that the possibility of self-information, a second opinion, medical education and the involvement of patients in necessary decisions could not be fully exhausted in time. The reference range indicates the range in which the results of an indicator are assessed as normal. A facility with a result outside the reference range is initially computationally conspicuous, which usually results in an analysis in the structured dialog. It should be noted that an indicator result outside the reference range is not synonymous with a poor quality of the facility in the quality aspect considered here.
