title: [From applied psychosomatic medicine to integrated medicine - experiences with the Steglitz allocated bed model].
abstract: Changes in the German hospital system like the introduction of the DRG compensation system suggest the usefulness of considering the modification of inpatient psychosomatic treatment options. Patients in a university hospital underwent diagnosis-related psychosomatic treatment in the wards of other departments after instituting the allocated bed model. The report presented here points out chances and risks of such a change. First psychodiagnostic assessments indicate a significant improvement of symptoms in these patients. Despite the overall positive result obtained thus far, the institutional and administrative framework conditions for such a change should be carefully considered and further evaluated.
