Abstract
Certifications and the associated standards are of great importance in the quality assurance of health care in Germany. Over the last few years, the number of certificates issued by the different professional associations has increased significantly, making it increasingly difficult to keep track of them. Especially in the preclinical setting, rescue services and emergency medical service (EMS) physicians encounter unfiltered patient clientele. In order to provide patients with targeted care, they are usually assigned tracer diagnoses. There are specialized centers at the respective clinics for many of these (suspected) diagnoses. These serve to provide patients with tailored diagnostics and treatment in order to achieve an optimal outcome. The article lists the centers that are relevant for EMS physicians and outlines the personnel as well as diagnostic and therapeutic requirements. It aims to make it easier to decide on the appropriate target clinic and is intended to provide general and uniform understanding.
