title: [Systematic analysis of treatment results as a quality control instrument using the example of a large European center].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Measurement of the quality of treatment has become increasingly important in hospitals. An easy and practical solution in data acquisition is the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement (PROM).
  
  
  METHODS
  In this article the historical development, general conditions, and difficulties of using the outcome measurement in our patients are describe. In addition, we illustrate the wide range of benefits due to our survey. Based on data from 2008-2013, the functional and oncological results of treatment in our clinic are shown. The main focus lies on the PROMs, e.g., urinary continence evaluated with the daily pad use, sexual function with the IIEF-5 questionnaire, and postoperative complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A systematic and standardized outcome measurement may help to improve the quality of treatment, provides factual information for patients, and supports medical development.
