Liumbruno gave an update on a new law passed in Italy, obligating Italian hospitals to implement PBM. Prof. B.

To appreciate the efforts undertaken to improve the implementation of PBM globally, all international PBM experts were awarded with the “International PBM Implementation Award” by the Global PBM Network.<\/p>\n

After lunch, the early afternoon program was focused on the German PBM Network. In an introduction, Prof. Dr. P. Meybohm talked about structure and advantageous of becoming a member of the network. Later on he described more recent developments and future plans. In the following, three speakers from different PBM hospitals presented on their positive experiences, challenges as well as success while implementing PBM within the German PBM Network.<\/p>\n

To appreciate the outstanding efforts, all three speakers and their associated hospitals (Dr. Kerstin Gro\u00dfe Wortmann, Herzogin Elisabeth Hospital Braunschweig; Dr. Patrick Stark, Mittelmoselklinikum Zell; Dr. Josef Thoma, Ortenau Klinikum Offenburg-Gengenbach) were presented with the “German PBM Implementation Award”.<\/p>\n

The afternoon talks were finalised by exciting presentations on PBM as seen through the eyes of the controlling and the patient advocate, respectively.<\/p>\n

Following this, a panel discussion with representatives of different medical fields (surgery, anaesthesiology, transfusion medicine), health insurance, patient advocate and controlling took place. An important topic discussed was how to improve approval and funding of PBM by health insurances. It was agreed that PBM is an important part of patient care, making further steps for an improved implementation mandatory.<\/p>\n

At the very end, hospitals and members of the German PBM Network were awarded with PBM certificates. The certified hospitals are shown in our digital PBM map<\/a>.<\/p>\n
