According to the legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany (Gesundheitsstrukturgesetz 1993) defined performance figures must be listed for each case of inpatient care. As hospital morbidity data are essential for further development of the health care system and for introducing the DRGs, the corresponding statistical data of a German federal territory of the year 2000 were studied in respect of several aspects of their quality: conformity with the requirements of law, plausibility and ability to transport essential medical information. Notable variations were found between the departments and different medical disciplines without interdependence to variant hospital status. Only about 40 % of departments of surgical disciplines transferred data according to legal requirements. Some disciplines showed higher percentages of unspecific coding (e.g. traumatology). The described deficits impair data reliability. The study offers a feedback to hospital departments with regard to their formal data quality. Periodic investigation may thus help to improve data quality in future.
