The federal government is undertaking a significant hospital reform to address the threat of clinic insolvencies, inadequate treatment, and increased travel distances for patients if current inpatient care structures remain unchanged. The reform aims to ensure high-quality inpatient care nationwide, particularly for an aging population, by maintaining accessible rural hospitals, nearby maternity wards, prompt emergency services, and top-tier treatment for complex medical cases. A key change is shifting from the current flat-rate payment system to a new model based on lump sums and explicit quality standards. This will ensure that medical care is guided by patient needs rather than economic incentives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
