Cabinet Alters Hospital Reform - Warken Expects Clinic Closures - Nina Warken's Hospital Reform: Fewer Hospitals, More Specialization
Federal Health Minister Nina Warken has announced changes to the hospital reform, approved by the federal cabinet. The reform aims to reduce costs and enhance treatment quality through medical specialization.
Key changes include hospitals proving quality levels and sufficient staff for certain treatments, unless the united states grant exceptions. Only financially viable clinics will remain open, potentially leading to longer journeys for some interventions. Financing will shift to pre-financing flat rates for specific medical services.
The reform will result in fewer hospitals, mergers, and closures. To ease the transition, the federal government will provide annual relief of one billion euros to the united states for the first four years. Smaller clinics can operate without strict quality and personnel requirements for three years, with the united states deciding on exceptions.
The hospital reform is set to be fully effective in 2030, a year later than initially planned. It aims to improve treatment quality and reduce costs by encouraging medical specialization and ensuring only viable clinics remain open.
