Specialist department
In terms of the Hospital statistics of the Federal Statistical Office:Specialist departments are separate departments with special treatment equipment, run under the permanent supervision of practitioners with the field or subordinate field qualification. Relevant for the statistical dissociation of the specialist departments is the field or subordinate field designation of the executive medical practitioner. This practice has been given preference for economic reasons with respect of data procurement, because the deviation to the specialist department designation in the facilities is thought to be very low. But one cannot rule out the possibility that de facto an accident surgeon leads the pediatric surgery, so that in the statistics an accident surgery is counted. For reasons of a uniform way of counting there is no separate statement of a specialist department "intensive care medicine" in the statistics. If there is an organisationally independent specialist department "intensive care medicine" in the hospitals, its beds are listed according to use with the listed specialist departments. The same applies to the patients, who are treated there and the occupancy and billing days. Transfers to and from the specialist department "intensive care" medicine" are not counted in the statistics. Cases and days are then further recorded with the delivering specialist department. As far as an admission of a patient takes place directly from outside into the intensive care medicine, the patient data are assigned to one of the listed specialist departments.
