title: [Claim and reality of selective contact options : experiences in finalizing selective contracts in urological care].
abstract: Selective contracts are an important component in addition to the total healthcare concept in order to introduce process-related innovations into the healthcare system. Since 2011 the Berufsverband der Deutschen Urologen (BDU, Professional Association of German Urologists) has held negotiations with individual health insurance companies and care providers in order to view selective contracts as collective contracts, not only as pilot projects but also as additional forms of care.This article illustrates the experiences of the BDU in the initiation and finalizing of selective contracts as well as existing weak points in the framework conditions.
