Challenges of opening up the outpatient sector

The number of increasing legal changes over the last years is a challeng for the medical and commercial directors as well as the nursing management of the hospital. The further opening of the outpatient sector through the Healthcare Strengthening Act (Versorgungsstärkungsgesetz, VSG), discharge management, outpatient specialist care, the possibility of establishing medical care centres and the cooperation with panel doctors in private practice must be reconciled with the simultaneously existing requirements of the Anti-Corruption Act and the ever-increasing economic constraints.
