Medical system transformation - For my meeting with a professional, she provides this for me.
For older patients, the old system of being referred to a specialist by their general practitioner is well known.
However, as Berlin's legal expert in medical law, Britta Konradt, explains, there's a significant change. The "House Doctor Bonus" of 30 euros has vanished. This bonus was once proposed in one of the draft laws to reward patients who first consulted their general practitioners with their illnesses. Sadly, this concept of maintaining control over treatment has been discarded. Medical professionals are disappointed.
Dr. Nicole Buhlinger-Göpfarth, Federal Chairman of the House Doctors Association and a general practitioner in Pforzheim, says that reinforcing care centered around general practitioners was crucial. The initially suggested bonus program for patients who always chose general practitioners as their initial point of contact would have facilitated this. However, patients continue to bounce from one specialist to another, resulting in system overload and inaccurate or missed diagnoses.
