The quality of postoperative pain therapy in Germany shows a heterogeneous treatment practice and large differences in quality between individual institutions, The patient representatives in the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) have therefore decisively campaigned for many years that instruments of non-legislative standards are employed in order to noticeably improve the quality of perioperative pain therapy for patients in Germany. As a result of these efforts, in October 2020 a binding specification for internal quality management was included in the quality management guidelines (QM-RL) by the G‑BA. This describes in concrete terms the structural and procedural requirements for an internal quality management of acute pain for all institutions in which operations and comparable potentially painful interventions are carried out. This article describes the content of this regulation and the resulting consequences for the institutions, the medical and administrative management and especially the role of anesthesia.
