The modern understanding of care …

Christian Riedel and Dr.-Ing. Jörg Risse
… as a guarantee of success for sustainable change

The implementation of future concepts often shows traditional values ​​and views that conflict with contemporary processes / structures and regularly prevent their successful establishment. In nursing, too, there are employees with an understanding of nursing that is mostly based on the content of the training period, which has been outdated for many years. This understanding forms the framework of the value system and thus also a yardstick that distinguishes good care. Today’s work in nursing is patient and process-oriented and is based on tried and tested expert standards. The joint development of a modern nursing strategy creates orientation, clarity in the goals and is the guideline for a modern understanding of management and work in nursing with a resulting employee satisfaction.

– Reorganization of purchasing and logistics at the Rostock University Medical Center

The University Medical Center Rostock (UMR) is a facility in transition as a maximum provider in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In this region, on the one hand, the demographic and economic signs for the future point to growth. On the other hand, the historically grown structure of the house means that several locations are operated in the city. The processes and structures in logistics and purchasing were also organized decentrally and characterized by an inadequate, not coordinated, logistical infrastructure. The new systems of the existing supply and disposal center were not yet in operation at the start of the project. For three years, intensive work was carried out to streamline the organizational structure and modernize the processes.

Health campus

Michael Schaaf and Celine Meier zu Köckerr
Conception of a cross-sectoral approach to care for rural areas

The discrepancy between the supply and demand of care with the guarantee of a comprehensive and demand-induced medical care presents rural regions with enormous challenges. Against the background of an “aging” population, hospital closings and practical tasks in rural areas, innovative care models must be implemented.

The campus concept offers coordinated outpatient, inpatient and rehabilitative offers that enable procedural, organizational and structural synergies on the service provider side, as well as intersectoral care models on the patient side. The concept implementation in Calw and Bad Säckingen is imminent. The cross-sectoral approach to care, which is geared towards issues of geriatric medicine, is praised by politicians, resident doctors and patients.

Positive response to the health campus in Bad Säckingen

Dr.-Ing. Jörg Risse in an interview with the Badische Zeitung

gök Consulting develops the concept for the Bad Säckinger health campus. The concept is beginning to take shape. Felix Held from the Badische Zeitung asked planner Jörg Risse about the current status.

BZ:Mr. Risse, there are obviously already some interested parties for the health campus. Would you have expected such a response?

Cracks: The response is very positive, especially as far as the breadth of feedback is concerned. For example, we received inquiries from medical practices, a rehabilitation facility and nursing facilities, as well as medical supply stores, short-term care and a caterer. The DRK intends to locate its lifeguard station on campus and a daycare center is planning a new location there. This breadth of feedback has surprised me positively. This is different from other comparable projects. This feedback also shows that there is a great need.

BZ:Where do the inquiries come from?

Cracks:More than 90 percent come from local or regional actors who are already based here, have their networks and want to settle on campus. This is typical of such a project.

Holistic care for geriatric patients in the hospital

Stefanie Kolbe and Dr.-Ing. Jörg Risse 

Contribution in the anthology “Management of Health Regions IV” –

-planning of needs and holistic regional care and cooperation
(published April 2018 by Springer Verlag)

The demographic development makes geriatrics a growth area in acute inpatient care. Geriatric potential is currently unused in many hospitals. There is not inconsiderable additional revenue for hospitals, since the option of billing geriatric complex flat rates is not used for various reasons. In addition, the quality of treatment for older patients could be significantly improved through interdisciplinary geriatric care. One reason for this is the lack of structured screening to identify geriatric patients. On the other hand, the lack of an agreement on the internal allocation of services between the specialist departments involved in many places also helps to ensure that geriatric potential is not used.

About the anthology:
The focus of the fourth volume on the topic of health regions is the area of ​​outpatient care. The individual articles give an insight into current developments, problem areas, points of view, trends and future prospects and potentials.
