Hospital reform by Karl Lauterbach: New draft bill is available. Clinics currently receive a flat rate of euros per patient or treatment case.
These per-case flat rates should be reduced. In the future, the clinics should receive 60 percent of the remuneration simply for providing services. According to the draft bill, extra money will be budgeted from 2027 onwards for the provision of pediatric medicine wards, obstetric wards, stroke wards and intensive care units. The federal states are responsible for hospital planning.
