Structural opportunity and economic risk at the same time

With the fundamentally positive idea of the Nursing Staff Reinforcement Act to no
longer finance hospital care via DRG lump-sum payments per case or additional fees,
but to fully remunerate each individual hospital, some hospitals are faced with 
the prospective manageability of these conditions.

In addition to the further budget negotiations with cost units that are now pending,
a nursing budget of €130 per day of full inpatient and €65 per day of partial inpatient
occupancy will apply until both parties reach agreement in accordance with § 15 (
2a) KHEntgG. If clinics have so far been above the temporary daily rates, this can
lead to short-term liquidity bottlenecks.

As a result of the legislation, economic efficiencies that previously resulted from
price or volume effects in the nursing service are no longer required. Clinics are
therefore forced to increase the economic efficiency by combining the medical service
portfolio with effective consumption control and efficient processes.
