Medical Specialist Care; patients, diagnosis, care characteristics, 2008-2011
Description
This table shows the number of patients within an institution residing in the Netherlands who received the types of medical specialist somatic care described in the basic health insurance package. The table is based on the institution-registered Diagnosis Treatment Combinations (DBCs) of the initial and follow-up treatment pathways performed. The care takes place in hospitals, independent treatment centres (ZBCs) or other (categoral) institution (see definitions) and is carried out by or under the supervision of a medical specialist working within one of the twenty-six specialisms that register DBCs and is principal practitioner for the relevant DBC. The table shows both the number of patients within institutions with one or more closed DBCs in the reporting year and the number of patients with one or more ongoing DBCs (closed and/or opened in the reporting year). The figures are broken down by diagnosis, age, gender, type of institution and treatment setting.
