Reforming mental health care in the Federal Republic of Germany was clearly impeded by a lack of health care data which would allow for a precise description of the state of the reorganisational process. Since these deficits are not a specific problem of mental health care, the need for a national health report providing health care statistics from all medical disciplines is widely recognised and has led to appropriate political initiatives. The difficulties in interpreting mental health care statistics of restricted validity and the resulting dangers will be discussed by means of examples, and the need for a special health report in mental health care is justified.
德意志联邦共和国精神卫生保健改革显然因缺乏医疗保健数据而受阻,这些数据本可用于精确描述重组进程的状况。由于这些缺陷并非精神卫生保健所特有的问题,人们普遍认识到需要一份提供所有医学学科医疗保健统计数据的国家健康报告,这也促使了相应的政治举措。本文将通过实例探讨解读有效性有限的精神卫生保健统计数据时存在的困难以及由此产生的风险,并论证精神卫生保健领域需要一份专门的健康报告的合理性。
