If it works (big if), he’s a genius. If it doesn’t, his already critical view in the society will get even worse
As a German I can’t handle such positive wordings in my news.
At least he tried, which is more than can be said for most politicians.
I am living in the Netherlands, close to the German border. I am always puzzled by the amount of hospitals Germany has. Germany has 1700, we have 130.
> Part of the reform is a new reimbursement system for hospitals. Currently, hospitals receive money based solely on the number of operations they perform. Under the new system, however, 60 percent of the costs will be paid through a fixed amount for providing staff and equipment for specific surgeries. The new system is designed to eliminate incentives to perform more and more procedures, some of which are not medically necessary.
Sitting here in the UK, I would give my left kidney for a reform of NHS reimbursement systems.
Reform that is needed – allow to work in that sector just with English. This will solve issue with shortage.
***TLDR***
Germany has approved its most extensive hospital reform, aiming to modernise healthcare infrastructure with a €50 billion investment over the next decade. This plan, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, seeks to reduce rising costs in Europe’s most expensive hospital system while improving the quality of care. Fundamental changes include a new reimbursement model that moves away from incentivising unnecessary procedures and introduces fixed payments for staff and equipment. Hospitals must meet stricter quality standards, with complex treatments restricted to well-equipped facilities. The reform, which passed the Bundesrat after a contentious debate, includes hospital mergers and closures provisions and will be implemented from 2025 to 2029.
In France, our medias love to speak about the German example on their liberal politics.
I can bet that on this decision our medias will be quiet.
Do they use fax in the hospital?
Watch the next government sabotage this undertaking and blaming the failure on Lauterbach.
And the minister of health did not even have to type an E-Mail to the EU first. Or wait a year before remembering. Almost like the guy actually did something at his desk, good for him.
They are closing down 1700 hospitals and moving complex surgeries (eg. for cancer) to only larger hospitals.
I hardly see a benefit for the population, if they must travel even farther away to get cured.
awesome, good luck!
And the coalition in Brandenburg broke over this, the MP fired the minister of health during the Bundesrat meeting. Way to go, SPD, way to go.
