Hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, elder care facilities and other healthcare service providers are facing constant new challenges in this setting. Ongoing reform and especially the constantly changing legal environment apply intense pressure to the industry. Today’s hospital sector in Germany is dominated by issues like how to finance necessary investments in an era of tight public funding, vertical and horizontal cooperation to leverage synergy effects and expand the range of services, and corporate restructuring by outsourcing services not relating to patients.
