The organizational-administrative tasks of the inpatient patient flow are often 
characterized by a strong process fragmentation. Various actors perform similar 
activities, such as scheduling the inpatient admission of electric patients. This
results in a large number of interfaces with ambiguous responsibilities in the patient
flow process. The result is increased transparency and process complexity. The article
describes the procedure for developing a concept for admission, occupancy and discharge
management for the Nagold Hospital of the Southwest Clinic Association.
