The German hospital association Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft warns that the federal government's planned austerity measures could trigger a wave of hospital bankruptcies once the healthcare reforms are implemented. According to available information, the association's head, Gerald Gaß, expects that hospitals could lose eight percent of their revenue by 2027. n-tv ↗
The reform is meant to restructure the financing and organization of the German healthcare system. Part of the plans includes greater emphasis on so-called readiness lump sums instead of the current case-based lump sums, as well as greater specialization of hospitals. At the same time, the federal government is counting on strict austerity rules, which, according to the hospital association, could significantly worsen the economic situation of these facilities.

Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft points out that under such a setup, as many as every second clinic could face serious financial problems. The association therefore speaks of the risk of widespread insolvency in a sector that is already facing pressure from rising costs and changes in financing. n-tv ↗
Further developments will depend on the specific form the reform takes and on whether the government adjusts the planned savings. The hospital association indicates that without changes, the reform could, instead of stabilizing the system, accelerate financial problems at some hospitals. Spiegel.de ↗
