As patients, we rely on medical professionals to make accurate diagnoses, properly perform routine and complex procedures and recommend the diagnostic tests and treatment that we actually need. Unfortunately, some doctors and medical facilities may recommend and perform unnecessary procedures in an attempt to increase income, rather than act in a patient’s best interests.<\/p>\n
Nehmen Sie zum Beispiel eine Artikel<\/a> ver\u00f6ffentlicht im New York Times<\/em> in August of 2012, regarding claims, investigations and reviews of unnecessary cardiac procedures being performed at hospitals owned by Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the largest hospital chain in the U.S. The article mentioned certain facilities in Florida that were under scrutiny for cardiac procedures that may have posed an unnecessary expense and risk to patients who did not require them. Cardiac stents and catheters were specifically mentioned. Both of these are invasive, expensive medical procedures. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami, Florida requested information from 10 of HCA’s hospitals, many of which are in Florida. In all, HCA owns 163 hospitals and 110 independent surgical centers in the U.S. and England, making the Nashville-based corporation the largest hospital chain in the U.S.<\/p>\n Ein Bericht der National Academy of Sciences aus dem Jahr 2005 deckte eine schockierende 30%-Verschwendung von Gesundheitsausgaben in den USA auf. Neuere Studien haben zu \u00e4hnlichen Ergebnissen gef\u00fchrt. Das bedeutet, dass jedes Jahr zwischen $600 und $700 Milliarden Dollar verschwendet werden k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n In addition to costing patients, insurance companies and Medicare thousands upon thousands of dollars, unnecessary tests and procedures may place patients’ lives at risk. Some procedures may be dangerous, and if they are not actually needed, their risks certainly outweigh their benefits. Doctors should consider the patient’s well-being, not their own income, as a first priority. Patients should be told about all the risks and benefits associated with any test or procedure in order to make informed choices.<\/p>\n In April of 2012, a coalition of doctors and consumer groups unveiled the “Choosing Wisely” campaign, which aims to help doctors and patients make better decisions about what tests and procedures are actually necessary. The campaign addresses 45 different tests and procedures that may be overused, some of which include:<\/p>\n Diese Tests k\u00f6nnen in manchen Situationen notwendig sein, sollten aber nicht durchgef\u00fchrt werden, wenn kein wirklicher Grund daf\u00fcr besteht. Gesunde Patienten mit geringem Risiko k\u00f6nnen in bestimmten Situationen m\u00f6glicherweise auf medizinische Tests verzichten, was ihnen und ihrem Versicherer viel Geld spart und sie auch vor unn\u00f6tigen Schmerzen, Unannehmlichkeiten oder anderen Komplikationen durch die Tests selbst bewahrt.<\/p>\n Ein unn\u00f6tiger medizinischer Eingriff oder Test kann aus einer Reihe von Gr\u00fcnden durchgef\u00fchrt werden, die auf Fahrl\u00e4ssigkeit, Betrug oder andere Formen des Fehlverhaltens von medizinischem Fachpersonal zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren sind. Ein Arzt kann falsch diagnostizieren<\/a> einen Patienten und empfehlen daher das falsche Verfahren. Ein Arzt kann ein Testergebnis falsch interpretieren und bei einem Patienten f\u00e4lschlicherweise eine schwerwiegende Erkrankung diagnostizieren, die eine Operation erfordert, obwohl dem Patienten m\u00f6glicherweise nur mit Medikamenten geholfen wurde. Eine medizinische Einrichtung kann eine Operation oder einen Test durchf\u00fchren, den ein Patient eigentlich nicht ben\u00f6tigt, einfach um den Gewinn zu steigern.<\/p>\n In jedem der oben genannten Szenarien kann ein Patient \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfige k\u00f6rperliche Schmerzen, emotionale Traumata und finanzielle Verluste erleiden.
