ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The delegation of medical services to rheumatology assistants (RFA) has proven to be safe and effective in the evaluation of the research project "StaerkeR". Afterwards, the experiences of the participating RFAs and rheumatologists with delegation were surveyed and discussed within the framework of an opinion research project. METHODS: At the end of the project, the participating RFAs and rheumatologists were surveyed via an online questionnaire (quantitative analysis) (21 questions for physicians and 44 questions for RFAs). In addition, focus group meetings were held for the RFAs, which were led by a moderator and a secretary. The results of the focus group sessions (qualitative analyses) were analyzed according to the structured method of Kuckartz. RESULTS: All 31 RFAs and 25 rheumatologists involved in the project participated in the online surveys and 9 RFAs took part in the 2 focus groups. In the online surveys, both the RFAs and the rheumatologists gave predominantly good to very good ratings with respect to RFA training, the implementation of delegation in the practices and outpatient clinics, the role of the RFAs and the overall evaluation of the delegation concept. In the focus group discussions, many possible limitations regarding acceptance and implementation of the delegation concept were mentioned. CONCLUSION: The delegation of medical tasks to RFAs is a concept that is positively assessed and highly accepted by both sides, the rheumatologists and the RFAs. In a comparison between the individual practices and hospital outpatient departments, there is still a clear heterogeneity with respect to the willingness and logistical possibilities in the implementation of the delegation concept.
