EIGENSTNDIGE PR- UND NOTFALLKLINIK ALS ZENTRALES RETTUNGSZENTRUM FuR DIE REGION 10

Abstract

The German health care system has been undergoing many reforms. The introduction of the DRG-financing system, as one of the major changes for the German hospital setting in the last decades, had huge impact on the evolution of the hospital resources and capacities, economic situation, organization, structure, processes and average length of stay. In this context, the optimal organization and structure of emergency departments is becoming a strategic factor of success for hospitals. This paper presents briefly the present situation with regard to the organization and structure of emergency care in Germany and describes the strategy, goals and expectations when establishing a new interdisciplinary emergency department for Region 10 in Germany.
