You can classify organizational units (OUs) in relation to specialty. This assignment is the basis for displaying the figures of government-mandated statistics by specialty. Consequently, you should assign departments and clinics to a specialty.

If you cannot assign a clinic to exactly one specialty, do not make any assignment. In this case, the system displays the figures calculated for the clinic under No Specialty Assigned in the statistics.

In Customizing for IS-H, you specify according to which statutory regulations you assign OUs to specialties. For more information about this, see the sections entitled Define Specialty Categories, Code Specialties and Maintain Specialty Hierarchy in the IS-H Implementation Guide.

The following possibilities exist:

• Statutory regulations Germany

• Specialties pursuant to the Federal Regulation for Hospitals 1995
• Specialties pursuant to the Federal Regulation for Hospitals 1985
• Specialties pursuant to Statistical Regulatory Requirements
• Specialties pursuant to the Nursing Staff Regulation

• Statutory regulations Austria

• Specialties pursuant to KRAZAF

• Regulations Netherlands

• Specialties pursuant to POLIS

Additionally, you can classify OUs according to specialties of your choosing.
