The website shows changes in the hospital landscape
A new website shows transparent and interactively how hospital care in Baden-Württemberg develops and adapted to future challenges. The country actively supports the hospitals in this process.
good health care is one of the most important tasks in politics. "We have been confronted with this for many years - and we are currently in the country's hospitals in the middle of a structural change," said the Minister of Health man luca on the occasion of the presentation of A Interactive website of the hospital company Baden-Württemberg (BWKG) which depicts this structural change based on nationwide projects.
"I am very grateful for the development of this interactive website. We expressly welcome this transparency because it shows how actively we are already working in the country to adapt the supply to future challenges," said the minister. The reasons for structural change are diverse - throughout Germany. "Medical treatments are becoming more complex, there are quality requirements, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit personnel, and then there are still the economic aspects. As a country, we support the hospitals in Baden-Württemberg to work independently and to be able to survive in the long term."
According to the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for Social Affairs and Health, this also includes concentrations and focuses in the hospital sector. By bundling medical expertise in larger clinics, the best possible supply quality for patients can continue to ensure in the future. The hospital operators are also required to check their structures and adapt it if necessary in order to be able to ensure high medical quality and economic management.
hospital planning - a task on site
The focus of concentration and comprehensive coverage must always be weighed against each other. It is in the interest of the country to create structures that are operated permanently and are designed according to the local requirements and needs. The inclusion of cross -sectors and outpatient care is particularly important. Numerous counties, cities and municipalities have already initiated and carried out analyzes for regional care with the help of reports and citizen participation. "To give just one example: The district of Ortenau has implemented an exemplary citizen participation process as part of the 2030 agenda, which we also enjoyed financially," said Lucha.
The municipal health conferences will play an even more important role in the design of regional care and the networking of supply offers. The support program for basic care centers of the state supports the offer coordination and Cooperation of the actors in healthcare and expand.
hospital financing - a permanent task
The hospitals get money from different pots. The BUND Land promotes investments . According to the State Ministry of Health, the main reason for the difficult financial and economic situation of many hospitals in Baden-Württemberg is not in the area of investment grants, but in the insufficient financing of the operating costs. The regional cost differences in particular are not sufficiently taken into account here. "This disadvantages the Baden-Württemberg hospitals compared to other federal states when financing the operating costs," said Health Minister Manne Lucha. "We continue to ask the Federal Government to improve and create better framework conditions for the financing of the operating costs."
challenge obstetrics
The closure of obstetrical departments often causes great unrest in the affected region, since the travel times are extended in rural areas and the surrounding hospitals have to raise capacity for more births. In addition to economic reasons, the lack of personnel, especially for midwives, is often a reason why obstetrical departments cannot be maintained. For this, the state government sets itself nationwide a Future-safe and high-quality support around the birth available. With the The Local Health Center contributes to better preparation and aftercare, especially in less well-supplied areas. Minister Lucha therefore welcomes the fact that the BWKG has also adopted this important topic and explicitly presents the changes in the area of obstetrics on the new website.
Psychiatric care must be expanded
in the Psychiatric care Further requirements for sustainable and needs -based care. Here, decentralization and a clear expansion of the offers are of fundamental importance in order to be able to offer the best possible treatment on site. This also corresponds to the goal of community psychiatric care. The BWKG-Tool clearly shows the successful expansion of the psychiatric infrastructure in the country. So that this important infrastructure can continue to be maintained, the support of the health insurance companies is necessary to finance the operating costs. Without adequate care sentences, the psychiatric clinics cannot perform their tasks.
land doctor rate and funding program "country doctors"
In order to maintain general care in Baden-Württemberg across the board, there are numerous measures that complement each other as building blocks. For example, the state of Baden-Württemberg represents 75 study places in human medicine for the so-called Land doctoral tariff to disposal. This is a preliminary quota for admission to study human medicine in Baden-Württemberg, which is independent of the Abitur grade. The aim is to secure general care in under-sector areas in Baden-Württemberg.
In addition, the country promotes the funding program "Land doctors" settlement in rural communities. The program is aimed at doctors who want to work as a general practitioner in rural areas. In the meantime, various projects with a total of around 4.4 million euros have been funded to take over or establish family practices and attend doctors to improve or maintain general medical care.
