Newly published: Caesarean sections and the like: Surgery and treatment in hospitals

STATmagazin Logo Gesundheit
Since early in 2004, hospital services have been remunerated on the basis of case flat rates. This means that remuneration is no longer based on a patient's length of stay in hospital, but depends on the diagnosis and the treatment required. The system of case flat rates was introduced with the aims of reducing the length of stay in German hospitals, standardising the remuneration for medical services provided in hospitals, and containing the increasing costs of hospital stays. More information on our latest STATmagazin.
