Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), Volume 62, Issue 9, 22 4 2023, Pages 903-912 [Models for collaboration]. Köhrmann KU, Schneider AW
In the future, a need-base health care system should be ensured by cooperation between the service providers. To promote this, the current legal framework is being adjusted to include the introduction of "day treatment at hospitals", distribution of "service groups" to individual clinics, and the establishment of integrated control centers and emergency centers. Healthcare providers are to be motivated to collaborate via financial support, and also the utilization of synergis... Abstract

Northern Iraq was the political and economic center of the Neo-Assyrian Empire (c. 912 to 609 BCE)-the largest and most powerful empire of its time. After more than two centuries of regional dominance, the Neo-Assyrian state plummeted from its zenith (c. 670 BCE) to complete political collapse (c. 615 to 609 BCE). Earlier explanations for the Assyrian collapse focused on the roles of internal politico-economic conflicts, territorial overextension, and military defeat. Here, we present a high-res... Abstract

In the classic affiliated physician system, patients are typically guaranteed cross-sectoral surgical and nonsurgical care. For years, neutral experts have been confirming the resource-efficient use of the increasing demand for medical services due to changing demographics. Nevertheless, due to lack of support, this form of care is increasingly being replaced by structures that substitute affiliated physicians. Only by returning to this cross-sectoral form of care, which was a leading form of ca... Abstract

Urology is affected by the demographic development in Germany more than any other medical discipline. Despite a relatively stable total population, by the year 2040 there will be an absolute and relevant increase in urological diseases caused only by the demographic development in the population. This is particularly true for the increase in oncological treatment just in the field of the discipline of urology. Even now the current numbers for tumor development in Germany (RKI 2014) in the urolog... Abstract
