This article explores the expert genre ›medical report‹ from a narratological point of view, and is divided into three parts: the first part deals with the history of this widely unknown factual genre that develops, as is shown in patient files from the Inselarchiv Berne, in the 1940s as integral part of the file. The medical report transforms clinical actions and events into a fundamentally linear sequence and is initially marked by a substantial degree of narrativity, including a first-person-narrator, eventfulness and emotions. The second part of the article deals with the epistemology of the contemporary medical report: it is shown that the event-sequencing in medical reports becomes ever more selective, reductive and actionless as clinical medicine becomes over-complex, highly specialized and technicized. The third part explores the aesthetic potential of the medical report for post-modern German literary prose: In David Wagner's autobiographical novel Leben, the medical report appears three times, thus structuring the whole plot and marking poetological turning points.

Background: Since the first prostate cancer center was certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG) in 2008, there are currently 94 centers at 95 sites. During certification, data on the implementation of the requirements are collected. These data can be used for benchmarking purposes.Objectives: This paper describes the development and monitoring of indicators and presents a selection of recent results.Materials and Methods: The descriptive results on 18,288 primary cases from 91 sites with complete data are presented.Results: The prostate cancer center certification system has reached a plateau both in regard to the absolute number of centers and the total proportion of all primary cases treated in Germany. The implementation of the requirements is at a high level overall, although some centers have difficulties fulfilling selected key figures, e.g., the study quota requirement.Conclusion: The evaluation of current indicators documented good structural and process quality, which correspond for the most part to the target values for the total cohort. In the future, assessing medium and long-term outcome quality will be of greater importance, particularly with regard to patient-reported outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals, from the perspective of textual and narrative theory, with certain forms of communication in current clinical medicine. It will be argued that diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in highly specialized medical contexts tend to be fragmented and pluralistic and that this compromises a distinct concept of personhood. Therefore, clinical experts should adopt an integrative understanding of the patient as coherent entity. The phenomenon of depersonalization in clinical medicine is, among others, reinforced by a quasi 'hegemonial' expert genre that organizes almost all case-based communication among specialists: the discharge report or epicrisis. However, there is hardly any research about this genre. Against this background, a brief overview will be given over the historical development of the medical report in the 20th century and its epistemological function, using archival sources. Certain narrative peculiarities such as deagentivization, reductionism and fundamental linearity indicate that the medical report has the function of ordering past courses of events and of making causal connections evident - therefore it works anyway in a depersonalizing manner. In this context, the Medical Humanities have a serious didactic task: they should raise critical awareness of the relationship between talking, writing, thinking and acting among future clinicians already during their academic education.
