Abstract

The German healthcare system is outdated, no longer reflects reality and needs to be reformed. In addition to a lack of ideas, there is a lack of courage and will to implement necessary reforms. Where will current developments lead us? When it comes to financing the healthcare system, immense challenges await political decision-makers. Demographic change is already posing major problems for healthcare today. Parallel to the increase in the number of patients, the time that physicians have available for their patients has been decreasing for years. Ultimately, social change and the increase in part-time employment mean that there is significantly less money available. Patient dissatisfaction is increasing as expectations are not being met. While hospitals receive financial support, the outpatient sector has been left empty-handed for years. As financial investors are forcing their way into outpatient care, the focus must be prevented from being purely on maximizing profits. Thus, areorganization of the healthcare system is necessary.
