Hospital reform: AOK federal association welcomes the planned transparency directory of the Federal Minister of Health

Today, important analyzes on the quality of the results of hospitals were presented at a press conference of the Federal Minister of Health. The analysis is based on the evaluation of billing data from the AOK insured, which provide information about the hospital that can show good treatment results, adequate equipment and high number of cases. This is an important information for us as Berlin citizens, as it enables us to choose a clinic that offers high -quality health care.

in Berlin there are a variety of hospitals, and it is of great importance for us as a citizen that we have the opportunity to compare the quality of the treatment facilities. The statements by the deputy chairman of the AOK federal association, Jens Martin Hoyer, encourage the efforts to create even more transparency in terms of treatment quality. Minister Lauterbach's planned introduction of a directory of transparency is therefore fundamentally approved because it will facilitate decision making for patients and treating doctors.

The hospital reform is an urgent topic that must not be pushed onto the long bank. It is of great importance that patients in Germany can trust the best possible treatment quality, regardless of the hospital in which they are in. The planned reform is intended to ensure that the quality of treatment is guaranteed by quality guarantees and a case -independent support financing. This is an important step towards a quality -oriented concentration of certain treatments in suitable clinics.

The clinics' claims, on the other hand, must be considered with restraint for additional financial means. A retrospective increase in the state base case would burden the contributors over a fee, which is not to be responsible in view of the already rising costs for inpatient care. Instead, a targeted and quality -oriented support is aimed at noteworthy structures to ensure more effective financing.

As a citizen of Berlin, it is important to keep up to date with the developments in the healthcare system and to be informed about the current situation. The quality of medical care in our city affects each of us. Therefore, we have to make sure that the planned hospital reform actually provides the best possible results for us as a patient and for society as a whole.

To illustrate the situation in the Berlin hospitals, the following table shows the number of hospitals and beds in Berlin:

| District | Number of hospitals | Number of beds |
| —————— | ———————————————— |
| Middle | 6 | 2,500 |
| Charlottenburg | 4 | 1.800 |
| Friedrichshain | 5 | 2,000 |
| Tempelhof | 3 | 1,200 |
| Kreuzberg | 7 | 3000 |

It is clear that the quality and quantity of health care in Berlin is of great importance, and it is to be hoped that the planned hospital reform will bring positive changes. The citizens of Berlin will keep an eye on the developments.
