Zusammenfassung
Die bevorstehende Einführung des DRG-Systems in Deutschland bringt Ungewissheit für die Behörden, die Ärzte, das Pflegepersonal und für alle weiteren Personen, die mit dem Gesundheitswesen zu tun haben, die Patienten eingeschlossen. Wie zuvor schon in anderen Ländern, wird sich auch in Deutschland aufgrund dieser Neuerung vieles verändern. Aber eine gezielte, effiziente und qualitätsgesicherte medizinische Betreuung soll und kann auch weiter gefördert werden. Der vorliegende Kurzbericht fasst die Auswirkungen auf die Schnittstelle zwischen der Akutversorgung und der nachgeordneten Rehabilitation durch die Einführung des DRG-Systems in Sydney, New South Wales, Australien zusammen und geht anschließend noch auf die weitere Entwicklung ein.
Abstract
The forthcoming introduction of a DRG system in Germany has entailed numerous uncertainties for the agencies involved, for medical and care staff as well as all others having to do with the health care system, the patients included. As had previously been the case in other countries, this innovation is going to effect major changes in Germany as well. Notwithstanding, efforts to enhance specific, efficient and quality-assured medical care can, and are intended to, be undertaken in the future as well. This short report summarizes the impact introduction of a DRG system has had at the interface between acute care and subsequent rehabilitation in Syndey, New South Wales; concluding, future developments are outlined.
