Intensive care units (ICUs) operate with fixed capacities and face uncertainty such as demand variability, leading to demand-driven, early discharges to free up beds. These discharges can increase readmission rates, negatively impacting patient outcomes and aggravating ICU bottleneck congestion....

Die Diskussionen zur Krankenhausreform in Deutschland, die mit den Veröffentlichungen der Regierungskommission Ende 2022 starteten, sind nunmehr durch den eingeläuteten Gesetzgebungsprozess (Krankenhaustransparenzgesetz bzw. Krankenhausversorgungsverbesserungsgesetz) in formale Bahnen gelenkt...

Only positive instances of various events, e.g., secondary diagnoses, are actively labeled in hospital administrative data. In line with this, several studies indicate underreporting of adverse events such as sepsis. The gold standard for relabeling of uncoded sepsis cases, medical record...
