McKinsey's Report on Postpandemic Challenges in German Healthcare: Leveraging Technology to Address Staffing and Bureaucratic Issues • The German healthcare system, long recognized for its high standards, is facing significant challenges in the wake of the pandemic. A McKinsey survey of German physicians reveals key obstacles that could compromise the quality and reliability of patient care. • Despite these concerns, there is optimism: the majority of physicians believe that these challenges can be effectively addressed through technology-driven solutions, innovative organizational structures, and process improvements. • The survey highlights that staff shortages and excessive bureaucracy are major barriers to providing effective patient care. Notably, 40% of the healthcare positions vacated during the pandemic remain unfilled, with severe shortages of nurses and medical assistants. • Furthermore, the time physicians spend on administrative tasks, record-keeping, and documentation has increased significantly since pre-COVID-19 levels and is expected to continue rising. • Consequently, 35% of physicians indicated they are at least somewhat likely to leave their current positions within the next five years. • The solutions most favored by physicians to tackle these issues involve a greater adoption of technology-based tools. These include electronic appointment scheduling, electronic health records, and online platforms that could reduce administrative workloads. • According to the survey, more than two-thirds of physicians are open to utilizing these tools, even though current digital solutions are underutilized. Telemedicine, seen as vital for overcoming challenges like time constraints and patient inconvenience, is offered by over 80% of the surveyed physicians. However, less than 5% of all consultations are conducted virtually. Scheurer Medtech & Healthcare Consulting specializes in Go-to-Market Strategies and Sales for Medtech & Digital Health companies.

Current Hospital Study by Roland Berger: Hopeful Expectations Despite Precarious Economic Situation – Market Consolidation as a Key Driver -In the second quarter of 2024, Roland Berger surveyed over 650 executives in the German hospital market. -Approximately 70% of the surveyed executives report a deficit for the fiscal year 2023. -This figure increases by an average of 20 percentage points compared to the previous year. Publicly owned hospitals are particularly affected. -The ongoing financial crisis in clinics for many years is increasingly leading to a liquidity crisis. -The surveyed executives predict that by the end of 2024, around 28% of the hospitals in their region could be at risk of insolvency. -Despite the current challenging economic situation of German hospitals, the surveyed executives expect a medium- to long-term end or even a reversal of the negative financial and liquidity trends, with optimism varying significantly between the levels of care. -General and specialized providers anticipate a rather negative financial and liquidity trend until the end of 2029, whereas maximum care providers expect an improvement in their current situation. -53% of maximum care providers forecast a positive development in their annual results by 2029. -The slightly positive outlook, especially among maximum care providers, is the result of various external socioeconomic and health policy factors. -The two main influencing factors are likely the planned hospital reform by the federal government and the anticipated market consolidation due to a rising number of insolvencies. -The most important measures to ensure economic viability are the shift towards outpatient care and portfolio consolidation. -Mergers will be a key instrument for securing the future in the hospital market. #Germany #Medtech
