In a recent development, a member of the German Bundestag, Janosch Dahmen from the political party BΓΌndnis 90/Die GrΓΌnen (The Greens), has voiced concerns over a proposed hospital reform by fellow politician Warken.

Warkens' proposal aims to create a "patchwork" in Germany through extensive exemptions in the hospital reform. One of the key concerns raised by Dahmen is the abolition of so-called performance groups, a central mechanism in the reform. This, according to Dahmen, could potentially disrupt the quality of the reform.

The performance groups are intended to group medical services, ensuring a standardised approach to healthcare delivery. However, Warkens' proposal seeks to abolish this, introducing exceptions to specialist standards and suspending nursing staff limits instead.

Dahmen's concerns extend beyond quality. He fears that these changes could lead to an increase in costs for hospital expenditures, potentially jeopardising the financial sustainability of the reform. He also expresses apprehension that Warken is not seeking an adjustment, but rather the undermining of the central mechanisms of the hospital reform.

These concerns highlight a potential divide in the approach to the hospital reform, with Dahmen advocating for a more standardised, quality-driven approach, and Warken pushing for more flexibility and exemptions. The debate continues as both sides present their arguments, with the future of the hospital reform hanging in the balance.
