Hospital reform needs magic

Now it will take wizards 🧙‍♂️ to keep hospitals alive until the preemptive flat rate goes into effect in 2026. Here is a little insight into the magic school 😎

The hard magic: revenues up and costs down….

Revenues up!

🧚‍♂️ The magic formula: Quantity * Price 🧚‍♂️

in other words, more patients, more severe cases, higher prices.

Showstoppers:

🛑 Falling case numbers throughout Germany. So it’s whisking patients away from other hospitals.

🛑 More severe cases? Of course, if the technical equipment is available and the quality and structural specifications are met and, of course, there are enough patients and staff.

🛑 Higher prices: Prices are set by the legislator. No chance for the magicians. Or new professional field for all those who can steer politics in the right direction with the power of thought (or argument?!).

Costs down!

It’s simple: Conjure away personnel and material costs and conjure up a modern infrastructure with low energy and logistics costs…Conjure up tertiary services such as cleaning, food supply, …..günstiger

Showstoppers: inflation, rising wage and energy costs. Old buildings, structural requirements and intensive audits by health insurers. Minimum Wage….

But clearly our magician can do it (ok a little bit) and then comes the real magic…… 💫

Curtain up for a beautiful reporting system that enchants and is even more beautiful even better even better than the last versions…

an even better lecture on the exploits ….

🤥 Our magician hopes that the facade does not crumble, hopes that the outcries of doctors and nurses do not become even louder….

Yes staff shortage, closed beds, specialist for this and that is missing….true, but that can be overlooked or?


No! You can not!

✍ Adequate funding is needed for hospitals to remain on the grid now, not in 2026.

And of course, there is a broad consensus that fewer hospitals are needed. However, this must not be left to chance. Smart regional concepts must be developed under the leadership of the federal states.

✍ Hospitals need well-trained managers, real HR managers who understand how to guide people through change and create excellent working conditions.

💫 Who knows the magician, the conjurer, the expert or the scientist, 💫…

👉 that finally makes our politicians rethink,

👉 who ensures that bureaucracy moves out of hospitals and digitalization moves in?

👉 who makes the hospital what it should be again: a place where people are allowed to put their heart and soul into caring for patients?

If you / he meets them make sure that he is not chased away 😉
What do you/they think about how to proceed?
