- 8. Why is an early onset of rehabilitation important for the course of neurological diseases? • The likelyhood of regeneration is the earlier the better • The kind and dimension of functional deficits is better understood in multi-professional therapy teams • The dynamic and functional dimension of the disease will be better understood • Appropriate therapy strategies can be initiated promptly and focussed on the functional problem Conclusion: Neuro-rehabilitation should start during the ICU stay on the cutting edge when the acuity of the primary disease just allows the first therapeutic approaches. © 2013 Schön Klinik Seite 8

- 10. Hospital Planning and Renumeration • The federal state determines an individual health care provision mandate for each hospital i.e. the permitted quantities of health services provision (except for emergency cases) • Since 2004 most of the hospital health services are renumerated on the basis of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) • Each hospital negotiates with the local representation of the sickness fund to determine the annual budget • The annual budget is calculated by using the individual quantities of the hospital multiplied with the uniform standard price for health services in the respective state ("Landesbasisfallwert") • The deficits or surpluses are balanced in the following year © 2013 Schön Klinik Seite 10

- 12. Effiency and Economy in German Hospitals "Germany is part of the OECD countries with the most efficient hospitals. The number of cases in relation to the number of employees weighted based on ICD categories shows that the hospitals in Germany have a comparatively low input of personnel per case. The number of cases, though, has been rising more than in other countries. Reasons are not clear yet. (Source: Study, Schreyögg, Insitute for Effciency of International Hospital Systems, Management in Health Care, University of Hamburg, 2013) Prices for health services in German are relatively low as compared to other OECD countries (OECD 2010). Measuring quality across throughout patient pathways needed Project Schön Klinik and WINEG/TK planned: "Development of an intersectoral quality monitoring - starting with health services at the departments of neurology and orthopedics at Schön Klinik Eilbek" © 2013 Schön Klinik Seite 12
- 13. Continuous Measuring of Quality and Outcome at Schön Clinics since 2007 • An independent, new institute for quality assurance of hospitals will be implemented in Germany until autumn 2014 • Annual Budget: 16 million EUR • Tasks are e.g. measuring quality, outcomes rather than patient satisfaction, determination of minimum quantities for certain operations like endoprotheses or intervertebral discs © 2013 Schön Klinik Seite 13
