The latter software is applied in a standardized manner to record the patient flow of our outpatient service in real time electronically. The total costs consist of personnel, material and room costs including infrastructure of the MHH and are compared to the flat-rate revenues according to the university outpatient contract (HSA) as well as further revenues from internal referral services, self-pay patients, outpatient surgery and cooperation contracts for intravitreal injections (IVOM).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>With an average full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount of 10.63 assistant physicians, 3.6 specialist physicians, and 21 nonphysicians (plus 4 Federal Volunteer Service, BUFDI) in our policlinic, we have determined € 2,927,022 in personnel costs, including overheads, for the entire year. Including infrastructure (€ 524,942), material and equipment costs with overheads and internal cost allocation of € 258.657, the total costs in 2019 resulted in € 3,710,621. In contrast, the total income in 2019 was € 3,524,737 generated through the abovementioned patient segments, resulting in a deficit of € -185,884 (5%). Our data provide evidence that regular outpatient revenues are insufficient and are mainly balanced by outpatient surgery, IVOMs and self-pay patients. In total, there were 19,453 patient contacts during regular office hours (with 17,305 billable cases). At n = 9943, the majority of the contacts were HSA visits; however, only 82% of the cases could effectively be charged due to multiple visits per quarter. The median total patient attendance was 3.21 h (mean 3.38 h). On average, 78 patient contacts were counted per working day. The analysis with TimeElement unveiled a median of n = 2 physician contacts per patient (mean n = 1.91). The median duration per interaction with a physician was 17.98 min (mean 23.23 min). For diagnostics, we counted a median of n = 2 interactions per patient (mean n = 2.31), with an entire interaction lasting a median of 18.30 min (mean 22.60 min). In total n = 37,363 individual diagnostic procedures were recorded in 2019, with SD-OCT being the primary procedure at n = 10,888.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The cost/turnover calculation showed a marginal financial loss through our ophthalmological outpatient department.
