The submitted case-record draws attention to the problem of revising the justification of hospital admission of insurants when from the documentation it is not apparent why in-patient health care must be provided instead of ambulatory care. The authors present basic data and analyses preceding the revision proper as well as the Record of facts revealed by the revision, the conclusion and evaluation of the revision incl. its economic outcome. In the evaluation of results it does not only draw attention to the violation of valid legal norms but in particular to many important errors in the documentation on provided health care with an impact on its quality. Finally the authors evaluate the impact of thus implemented revisions on the organization and implementation of revision activities and relations between the health insurance company and the revised health department.
