Nursing Agency introduction law: Reforms and challenges for care

The challenges of nursing training: A look at the Nursing Employment Act

In Berlin, the Federal Government has taken a decisive step towards reforming nursing training by adopting the Nursing Employment Act (Palatin SeinfG). This law is an essential part of the efforts to increase the attractiveness of the nursing professions and to remedy the continuing lack of healthcare specialists.

dr. Carola Reimann, the CEO of the AOK federal association, has commented on the effects of this reform. In her opinion, the introduction of a uniform training standard is of great importance in order to gain more people for nursing professions. "The desired training period of 18 months is a step in the right direction," explains Reimann. The appropriate training period is intended to ensure that the trainees can acquire the required skills and seamlessly qualify for further qualifications.

Another important aspect of the law is the long -term improvement of the quality and permeability of training in the care sector. By creating a modern training system, it is not only ensured that the training meets the current requirements, but also that the needs of the market are taken into account.

Nevertheless, there are considerable concerns about financial responsibility that the law plans to pass on in the current form to the statutory health insurance companies and social long -term care insurance. A total of almost 240 million euros per training year should be borne by the health insurance companies and another 17.7 million euros by social long -term care insurance. Dr. Reimann vehemently rejects this regulation and emphasizes that the countries are responsible for financing the training. "The federal states do not meet their responsibility in the area of ​​training costs.

The potential consequences of this financial regulation are serious. If the own shares for nursing home residents continue to rise, it will be difficult for many people to use the necessary care services. Reimann notes: "It is impossible that the people in need of care, which are already heavily burdened today, will also be asked to pay for a task for society as a whole."

The discussion about the Nursing Management Act is therefore not only a question of improving the training, but also a social challenge that concerns the future of care and the situation of many people in need of care. The next steps will be crucial to find a balance between the necessary reform and the financial burden of those affected.
