Abstract

The KVG generated or started up various processes among service providers, without reaching the main aim, which was to cut costs: > The concerned parties have made little use of existing alternative insurance options and hospital planning possibilities. > The principal cost cutting instruments (hospital planning, alternative insurance options, setting rates) have had limited, i.e. unsatisfactory impact. > The KVG has failed to introduce sufficient incentives for providers to improve co-ordination.
