„Mit einer Koalition der Willigen mehr Regionalität ermöglichen“

In the cover interview with ‚Monitor Versorgungsforschung‘, Daniela Teichert, CEO of AOK Nordost, not only dispels narratives such as the shortage of doctors and the death of hospitals. She also uses many examples to show what a large, responsible health insurance company can achieve in the interests and for the benefit of its policyholders in its respective region if it wants to. Her petition: ‚The DNA for more regionality should also be characterised by a focus on real care problems, on people, on patients at the centre of improvement efforts and on results orientation. If you focus primarily on costs, you will reduce quality - if you focus on quality, you will reduce costs.‘
