Why the fixed-rate system?

In the fixed-rate system, doctors are not paid per consultation but for their complete range of tasks, including administrative and preventive duties. This allows them to focus entirely on the well-being of their patients, aiming to keep them as healthy as possible.

Additionally, doctors can delegate specific tasks, freeing up time to optimize patient records in collaboration with the patient. This may include chronic care pathways, preventive measures, and advance care planning.

The system also promotes collaboration with nurses and caregivers for various care and technical interventions, such as wound care, vaccinations, blood sampling, and ECGs. It simplifies the implementation of specific care programs, such as diabetes care, group education sessions, or preventive flu campaigns.

This approach reflects a clear vision of primary healthcare, emphasizing multidisciplinary collaboration. Through teamwork among different disciplines and active involvement of the patient, high-quality and integrated care is made possible.
