AbstractWrongfully inpatient admission means unnecessary treatment of patients with the means of a hospital. In a study of the Medical Service (MDK) in the German state of Hessen 58% of 954 inpatients were considered wrongfully admitted. 199 patients were treated surgically, the wrongful admission rate of 63% is caused by an unnecessary duration of pre- and postoperative treatment time as well as by organizational deficits.
