Outpatient Medicine
Strengthening Structures. Ensuring Care. Shaping the Future.
Outpatient Care is and Remains a Central Component of Modern Healthcare.
Hospitals, practices, and medical care centers are constantly faced with the challenges of increasing patient numbers, limited resources, new fee assessments, and new legal requirements to reconcile these with one another. Sustainable concepts, efficient structures, and reliable partners are in demand.
Current Challenges
Outpatient care is under high pressure. The shortage of skilled professionals is intensifying, especially in rural regions where there is a lack of doctors and medical specialists. At the same time, bureaucracy and extensive documentation requirements burden daily practice – time that is missing from patient care. Economically, capped budgets, lump sums, and insufficient remuneration – for example, for prevention, consultation services, or psychosocial care – create financial uncertainty. Investments in digitalization, continuing education, or quality management are rarely adequately funded. The digital transformation also poses high demands: telematics infrastructure and electronic patient records mean time-consuming and costly changes – accompanied by technical hurdles, data protection requirements, and training needs.
At the Same Time, the Need for Care is Increasing:
An aging population requires more outpatient services, especially for chronic and complex diseases – while the availability of outpatient services is simultaneously decreasing, particularly in structurally weak regions.
