Silvan said that there will be several offensive measures to promote the health of the population. This includes freezing the recipe fees, which in particular relieves people with low incomes, as well as the introduction of a medication price lid, from which older people, single parents and chronically ill people in particular should benefit.

focus on psychosocial offers and outpatient care

Another important aspect of the new health strategy is the expansion of psychosocial offers for children and adolescents to promote the equality of mental and physical health. School psychology is also collected for standard care. Outpatient care, especially in rural areas, is also to be improved.

digitization as the key to increasing efficiency

A central component of the reform is digitization. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, digitization offers numerous opportunities, including faster communication and more efficient administrative processes. The departure of fax messages and paper forms should enable patient data to provide where they are needed. This is crucial for the quality of the treatment.

In addition, digital technologies are developed in order to meet the challenges of an increasingly older and chronically ill patient group. In particular, the provision of mobile applications promotes a self -determined role of patients in the treatment process and strengthens their health competence.

To improve patient care, the health telephone 1450 is modernized. The introduction of “telepraxes” with trained staff who can be reached around the clock should guarantee quick and efficient treatment. These measures fit in the greater framework of the digitization of the healthcare system, such as bpb.de, which recognizes the need for a systematic evaluation of health data and individual therapy approaches.

In general, the aim of digitization is to improve medical care in structural -weak rural areas and at the same time ensure the financing of medical innovations. Taking into account all of these aspects, the Federal Government's determination of reforming health policy in order to offer all citizens a high -quality and solidarity -financed health care.
