Model project Statamed: Innovative patient care in Sulingen
innovative approach in patient care
In the district of Diepholz, the Sulingen Hospital has participated in a new model test, which focuses on optimizing medical care for older people and chronically ill. The project called "Statafed" aims to improve the patient experience and to strengthen aftercare after a hospital stay.
a holistic approach
The approach of "Statamed" puts the needs of patients in the foreground. This is done by a carefully developed system that enables the instruction to the clinic exclusively through general practitioners, care facilities or emergency services. A detailed institutional talk not only affects acute complaints, but also existing previous illnesses to ensure comprehensive care. Thomas Luley, the medical director, explains: "It is important to us that the patients quickly return to their familiar surroundings. We avoid unnecessary stress."
a supporting team
The multidisciplinary team, which participates in the pilot test, is particularly noteworthy. In addition to doctors and nurses, the teams also include "flying nurses" and patient pilots who are responsible for aftercare. Marietta Heise-Linne, one of the "Flying Nurses", describes her role: "We take over the aftercare that can extend over up to four weeks. This is not a competition with other nursing staff, but represents additional care." This close aftercare is estimated by many patients and offers valuable support during the recovery phase.collaboration and support
Another important aspect of the project is discharge management, which is regulated by the patient pilots. Martina Kuhn, one of the patient pilots, emphasizes how important communication with the relatives is: "We are always available and are happy to answer questions about what is very well received by the families." This open communication creates a more confident feeling among the patients and their relatives.
future prospects in healthcare
The model project, which is initially limited until March 31, 2026, could provide pioneering knowledge for future health care in the Diepholz district. Uwe Lorenz, managing director of the clinics, sees participation in "Statamed" a way to better cover the so -called gray area between outpatient and inpatient care. "The hospital landscape in Lower Saxony will change a lot by 2030," emphasizes Lorenz. "Today we are preparing to optimally operate the future needs of the population."
A look into the future
The first results of this model are promising. So far, 37 patients who spent three to four days in the hospital on average have been treated. The patient's satisfaction is the focus of the evaluation, which is due to take place in 2026. If the project proves itself, a continuation could be considered, among other things, in the context of the new central clinic in Borwede in 2028. The Engagement of the hospital shows a strong effort to sustainably improve health care in the region and to offer patients a comprehensive care experience.
