Cover of the Ostfalia podcast "Einfach Forschung": The podcast host Prof Dr Heinz-Dieter Quack (left) and his podcast guest Prof Dr Felix Miedaner.

How do duty rosters, staffing requirements and organisational structures influence quality in hospitals?

In this episode of "Einfach Forschung", Prof Dr Heinz-Dieter Quack talks to Prof Dr Felix Miedaner from the Faculty of Healthcare at Ostfalia University. Together, they delve into current research projects at the interface between management, medicine and nursing.

The focus is on very specific questions: What effect do statutory staffing requirements have in practice? How does working too long without a break affect patient safety? And how can good management help to close gaps in care?

An in-depth discussion about research, responsibility - and the question of what really makes hospitals efficient.
