Six out of ten doctors investigated in hospitals are unhappy with their work situation. This has included an investigation commissioned by the medical association itself. “The results are a loud call for help from the hospital’s medical profession,” summarizes Harald Mayer, Spa chairman of the employees. As a solution you focus on mandatory control of the patient.
The hospital doctors are unhappy with their work situation. 60 percent believe that their work has become more unpleasant compared to five years ago. With their current experience, 19 percent would do without a medical degree. This is demonstrated by an IMAS survey on behalf of the medical association with at least 3800 medical professionals. As a solution, the Chamber sees mandatory control of the patient.
The Spa chairman of the doctors Harald Mayer served saw an alarm signal that is unparalleled on Monday morning during a press conference in the results of the study. The results of the comparison investigation from 2019 were already frightening -on that time 53 percent had observed a more unpleasant activity -but apparently it is also worse.
Staff shortage and time pressure
The shortage of staff is seen as the most serious problem, followed by the effort for patient documentation and increasing time pressure. Increasing the outpatient clinic also sees almost two -thirds as a serious problem. Moreover, Mayer points out that the number of night shifts is back. The highest number in one month The doctors indicate an average of 5.8. This means that you have reached almost the previous maximum value (5.9) from 2006. In 2016 it was less night shift per month.
The vice of Medical Association now hopes for auxiliary measures from the new Minister of Social Affairs and its health secretary. Mayer would have a simple recipe for this: “A mandatory control of the patient suddenly solves the problem.” You don’t have to find anything new from this, because there are already corresponding models in the Netherlands and the Baltic States. Ambulances could not be visited by a doctor without transfer.
Supply in night hours is missing
A corresponding offer in the residents is missing, especially at night: “It may not be that we are some entertainers from 11 p.m. to 6 am. So it is about the fact that highly specialized forces in hospitals are confronted with trivial complaints:” It is not possible that we abuse a expensive system to browse through defects in social security. “
An upgrade of the Hotline 1450 would be a different approach for Mayer. Their recommendations must also be made available to hospitals via Elga. So you can take insight into the hospitals whether the patient at the Hotline was actually recommended for a hospital visit.
Less bureaucracy
Mayer is convinced that you should also limit the bureaucracy for the doctors. Of course, decent patient documentation is needed. But they don’t have to do everything themselves. Admittedly, there are many documentation assistants, but not nationwide and especially not around the clock.
If you now set various auxiliary measures, the Mayer system can still be stored. But it still applies: “At the moment the state of mind of hospital doctors is in a true low point.”
