Hospital Atlas undergoing trials by the Federal government
The Federal Hospital Atlas, a comprehensive online portal launched by the German Federal Ministry of Health, is currently under review. The portal provides information on services and treatment quality of approximately 1,700 hospitals across Germany.
Launched in May 2024 by Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD), the portal aims to serve as a comparison tool for treatments and staffing across hospitals. However, no specific details about the nature or scope of the duplicated structures within the atlas have been provided.
Minister Nina Warken (CDU) has taken action regarding the Federal Hospital Atlas, but no decision about its outcome has been made public. The ministry is internally reviewing various options for the atlas, and this review is ongoing. The ministry will inform about the result of the ongoing review of the Federal Hospital Atlas.
The review has been prompted by statements from Minister Warken about duplicated structures not being efficient. The portal has faced criticism from states, specialist societies, and the hospital industry, which offers its own directory.
Despite the ongoing review, it is important to note that the dissolution of a project group does not mean that the substantive work on the Federal Hospital Atlas has been stopped. As of July 1, 2024, the atlas is being continued by a specialist department within the ministry.
A spokesperson for the Federal Ministry of Health has responded to a query about the review, stating that no information was given about potential changes or modifications to the Federal Hospital Atlas. The search results do not provide information on which person within the Federal Ministry of Health supervises the further development of the Bundeskrankenhausatlas.
The Federal Ministry of Health launched the Federal Hospital Atlas in Germany, with the portal providing valuable information to the public. The ministry will continue to update and improve the atlas to ensure it remains a useful tool for comparing hospital services and treatment quality across the country.
In conclusion, while the Federal Hospital Atlas is currently under review, the ministry remains committed to providing accurate and useful information to the public. The outcome of the review is yet to be announced, but the atlas continues to operate and provide valuable insights into hospital services in Germany.
