摘要

Background

More than 10 years ago, the German Society for Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Surgery (DGOOC) implemented the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD), as well as the EndoCert certification initiative to maintain highest possible quality standards for patients undergoing joint replacement procedures.

Cooperation

In addition to the individual responsibilities assigned to each organization, their collaboration also generates further synergies. For hospitals participating in both programs, a key advantage lies in the combination of the high EndoCert standards (mainly created for perioperative and early postoperative treatment) with the long-term outcome monitoring provided by the EPRD (continuous feedback on implant survival).

Conclusion

The integration of various quality assurance items ensures the highest possible level of safety for patients. Moreover, the structures underlying EPRD and EndoCert could also be used to support the further development of German hospital reform activities in the field of arthroplasty care.
