["Managed care"--perspectives in Germany].
There is a public discussion in Politics and Health services whether managed care should be realized in Germany. The German Medical Services of the Statutory Health Insurance (MDK) are also involved and have great interest and an opinion about this topic because the introduction of managed care or elements of managed care will influence the cooperation between the MDK and the German Statutory Health Insurance. The following article informs on certain elements of managed care already practised in Germany and discusses which of these elements can be used more intensively in the future according to Social Laws and developed structures.
