Abstract

A rising discussion can be seen concerning a transformation of health care systems. Real system changes have till now strengthened competition predominantly and reduced state interventions. Such a procedure also is probably the right way for the German system. Previous reform trials in Germany have i.e. introduced the Integrated Health Care (Integrierte Versorgung, IV). In this special health care form, single contractual regulations are allowed in the contract relationship between doctors and health insurance companies. These contracts partly take the usual collective agreements off. But, until now, the significance of this special form for the normal health care is minor, though. Whether the IV can be a starting point to a system transformation of the health care system by small steps is the question to be examined here.
