Ten years ago, Christian Hay & Uwe Brendle examined whether the German environmental agencies had been able to shift from national to European competences. The result was negative. In order to support the EU-work of environmental agencies, the DNR founded in 1991 the EU-Coordination position. This article examines this coordination position in three steps: (1) the functioning of the coordination position, (2) its role regarding EU-work of the German environmental agencies today, & (3) an assessment of success of their work & its possible development. 6 References.

This article evaluates the accuracy of reporting do not resuscitate (DNR) orders in administrative data for use in risk-adjusted hospital assessments. We compared DNR reporting by 48 California hospitals in 2005 patient discharge data (PDD) with gold-standard assessments made by registered nurses (RNs) who reabstracted 1,673 records of patients with myocardial infarction, pneumonia, or heart failure. The PDD agreed with the RN reabstraction in 1,411 (84.3%) cases. The administrative data did not reflect a DNR order in 71 of 512 records where the RN indicated there was (14% false negative rates), and reflected a DNR order in 191 of 1,161 records where the RN indicated there was not (16% false positive rate). The accuracy of DNR was more problematic for patients who died, suggesting that hospital-reported DNR is problematic for capturing patient preferences for resuscitation that can be used for risk-adjusted outcomes assessments.
