Leitlinie der Gesellschaft für Thrombose- und Hämostaseforschung (GTH) zur Struktur- und Prozessqualität von Hämophilie-Zentren.

Abstract

Since the 1970s, specialized hemophilia centers have been established to optimize the complex and costly treatment of patients with severe bleeding disorders. In 2019, the first GTH guidelines on the structural and process quality of hemophilia centers were published. On this basis, a procedure for the certification of hemophilia centers has been established under the technical leadership of the GTH. These GTH guidelines are essentially based on the European Guidelines for the Certification of Haemophilia Centers published in 2013, created by the European Haemophilia Network (EUHANET). In 2023, this European guideline was revised by the EAHAD Accreditation and Audit of Haemophilia Centers Working Group. On this background, the GTH guidelines have now been revised to take relevant updates to the European guidelines into account.
