  • Title: [Status and perspectives of medical technology according to the 1993 public health structure regulation].
    Author: Stehr H.
    Journal: Aktuelle Radiol; 1994 Nov; 4(6):301-6. PubMed ID: 7819291.
    Abstract:
    The German Health Care System is internationally recognized as having a high quality and efficiency for the total population. Rising costs of the Statutory Sickness Funds burden the employers and the employees in the same way. With the Health Structure Reform Act of January 1, 1993, federally induced systems for restructuring in part and for creating more competition are aimed to limit further growth rates of compulsory health insurance to a reasonable amount. The regulations with respect to electromedical devices and large, hightech systems are discussed in detail. But in the health care system technical progress also stimulates efficiency, initiates rationalisation, and contributes to a saving in costs.
