Deceased Patient: Reform Group Established

This was announced by Health Minister Korinna Schumann (SPÖ) on Tuesday afternoon after an online meeting with state representatives.

During the meeting, it was unanimously noted that emergency care in Austria "works very well" in most cases. The political leaders thanked the numerous employees of the healthcare system who "contribute to the high quality of care with great commitment every day." Their efforts form an "indispensable foundation to further optimize existing structures and ensure the best possible care in the future," it was stated in a press release in the afternoon.

Necessary Resources Available - Optimize Processes

During the meeting, it became clear that the necessary resources are available. However, the focus must be more on the processes, which need to be specifically improved and made more efficient. "There is a need to optimize processes, strengthen coordination, and define responsibilities more clearly," it was stated from the department. Furthermore, the necessity was emphasized to support existing processes with digital applications to increase the efficiency of operations and sustainably improve the care of time-critical medical conditions - for example, in imaging.

The experts are now to jointly develop the defined fields of action. The reform group will meet again at a technical level in November to continue the discussions and further intensify cooperation. The results are to be presented at the end of January and will form the basis for further implementation steps.

Today's exchange was not only very valuable professionally, "but also characterized by great trust and openness," emphasized Schumann.
