Karl Lauterbach emphasized that the reform plans represent a revolutionary shift in German healthcare, similar to other significant changes prompted by critical events like the Ukraine invasion.
The hospital reform mandates a new financing approach, moving away from pay-per-treatment to guaranteed income based on available services, addressing the financial strain on hospitals.
With Germany's hospitals struggling financially, the reforms aim to prevent unnecessary patient stays, reduce overall healthcare costs, and direct patients to appropriate specialized care more efficiently.
The transformation is intended not only to secure the future of hospitals but to improve patient outcomes by encouraging timely referrals to specialists and reducing treatment errors.
