Tenders Are Invited For Development Of Algorithm For Back-References

The Department Of Brain-Back Surgery Receives Weekly Approx. 175 Back Referrals From Gps. Only 25% Of These Referred Patients Are Called In For A Preliminary Examination And Among These Only 30-35% Are Offered An Operation. This Means That A Large Proportion Of Patients Referred To The Hospital From The Gp Either Do Not Need Surgery Or Do Not Meet The Criteria For Treatment. The Current Process Is Resource -Intensive For Both The Hospital And The Practitioners And Results In Many Ball Touches. Therefore, There Is A Great Need To Improve The Quality Of The Referral And Optimize The Visitation Process To Ensure That The Right Patients Are Feasible And Possibly To Surgery. The Initiative Stems From Dialogue With The Partnership Health Innovation Aarhus, Where Decision Makers From The Region, Hospitals, Municipalities, Knowledge Institutions And Companies Discuss Common Solutions To The Health Care Challenges.
