Abstract: The development and suitability testing of quality indicators for geriatric psychiatry.The indicators were developed by a group of experts and evaluated in terms of significance, scientific validity and practicability (according to QUALIFY). After a field test, qualitative interviews were conducted with the evaluators.All 24 indicators originally developed were classified as significant, 18 of them as scientific. Of these, 9 (by experts) and 8 (by evaluators) were rated as practicable. Indicators on delirium prevention, age-specific groups and liberty-depriving measures were rated as non-scientific. In terms of practicability, indicators on the documentation of therapy services were often inadequate.The developed set provides a good basis for measuring process quality in geriatric psychiatry.
