Abstract
Trauma surgical care in Germany faces major challenges. The increasing number of cases due to demographic change, combined with reduced bed capacity, requires a rethink in many areas. In order to continue to ensure basic and standard care at a high level and across the board in the future, economic incentives must be created to maintain sufficient locations for trauma care. At the same time, there is a shortage of skilled workers that will worsen in the coming years if appropriate measures are not taken to counteract it. Structural changes will also be needed to improve cross-sector networking between outpatient and inpatient care. With the increase in outpatient care, future shortages of both bed capacity and staff shortages may be buffered.
