Expert Speakers
Dr. Viola Graefe and Ralf-Torben Wittmar will be the guest speakers at the presentation. They will discuss the North Rhine Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians within the broader context of the German healthcare system.
The Role of KVNO in the German Healthcare System
KVNO plays a vital role in the German healthcare system, ensuring the provision, regulation, and coordination of outpatient healthcare services covered by statutory health insurance in North Rhine. The association negotiates contracts and remuneration with health insurance funds on behalf of its members, regulates the billing and payment process for outpatient services, and is responsible for planning the supply of outpatient medical care based on population needs and implementing quality management and assurance measures.
KVNO's Role in Kaarst and Rhein-Kreis Neuss District
In Kaarst and Rhein-Kreis Neuss, KVNO monitors and plans outpatient physician services. The areas are relatively well-served with both general practitioners and specialists, but challenges include ensuring adequate rural coverage and managing demographic changes (aging population). KVNO works to prevent undersupply by allocating practice authorizations and supporting new doctors. An aging population increases demand for chronic disease management and geriatric care, requiring adaptive planning. Efforts also focus on coordinating between outpatient care, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes and efficiency.
A Stable and Responsive Healthcare Environment
Through its structured membership and governance, KVNO facilitates a stable and responsive healthcare environment within the German SHI framework. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the presentation, providing an engaging platform for learning and discussion. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a better understanding of KVNO's role in the German healthcare system and its impact on the local community.
The North Rhine Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVNO) is integral to the German healthcare system, particularly in matters relating to health-and-wellness, as it ensures the provision, regulation, and coordination of outpatient healthcare services covered by statutory health insurance in the North Rhine region, including medical-conditions. This presentation, open to the public, will offer insights into these key functions, with expert speakers discussing the role of KVNO within the broader context of the German healthcare system.
