RHÖN-KLINIKUM’s campus-concept approach to dealing with an age-dominated healthcare system without economising
Abstract
Changes in healthcare are needed, particularly in order to address the consequences of demographic developments. A centralised and integrated healthcare provider, following economic and qualitative aspects and providing both a broad spectrum and highly specialised medicine, could be one solution. The campus-concept used by RHÖN-KLINIKUM-AG is based on the concept of networked medicine. Its primary element is patient navigation, which aims to exploit the assumed potential for efficiency. In the discussion on quality, patients should be not only targets but actors whose needs are taken into account. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which measure the quality of health care from a patient perspective, should play a major role in the German healthcare system. Forms follow function.
