title: [How does the Brandenburg general public health insurance company use the opportunity of Integrated Health Care?].
abstract: New laws on Integrated Health Care gives the opportunity to destroy unnecessary barriers within German social security systems. The aim is to optimally create health care supply so that the large potentials within these systems do not vanish in the chaos of these complex structures. The second most important aim is to reduce the cost of health care. The Brandenburg AOK (general public health insurance company) accepts the challenges and focuses on innovative potentials. Integrated Health Care provides ample opportunities for this purpose.
