Lack of doctors in Berlin: New co-working practices as a glimmer of hope!
A dramatic scenario for doctors in Germany: the challenges in healthcare grow, and many doctors are in a state of despair. According to a recent report by Berliner Zeitung complains about how the pressure of everyday clinic life she leaves. "Together with the on -call duty, I was now on duty for 25 hours," she says. The constant overtime and the growing bureaucracy in closed clinic structures make the profession unattractive. According to the KBV Practice Barometer, over 50 percent of the 185,000 resident house and specialists in Germany rated their situation as bad or very bad. The out of the systems and the lack of financial remuneration only increase the misery.
New model should bring relief
The Berlin startup Eterno Health tries to offer innovative solutions to improve working conditions for doctors. A co-working space for doctors is being built in the Schicklerhaus on the Jannowitzbrücke, which should enable them to concentrate on the essentials-the patients. "We take practically almost everything from the doctors. They just have to take care of their patients," explains Timo Rodi, co -founder of Eterno. The new facility thus becomes a shortage of doctors by taking on administrative tasks such as scheduling and billing, which relieves doctors and have more time for treatment.
The concept of Eterno has already been established in cities such as Frankfurt and Hamburg, where the polyclinics look after hundreds of patients every day. Eterno offers a fully equipped practical environment that enables the doctors to work independently without taking the risk of their own practice. For a monthly price, doctors can use these premises and give all administrative tasks. It remains to be seen whether this modern alternative can effectively combat the growing problem of general practitioner care in urban regions such as Berlin, where some districts have acute need for medical care.
