Hospital Future Fund

Progressive digitalisation in the health sector and the associated networking of service providers, patients and specialists represent a central point in a sustainable health system.

Modernisation Law

To make up for this delay, on 01.09.2020 the Federal Council decided on a comprehensive investment programme for the modernisation and digitalisation of hospitals. The aim of this measure is to make processes and communication channels simpler and more efficient. In addition, sanction measures for "non-digitisation" are planned from 2025. This deduction of up to 2% applies to each full and partial inpatient case by the contracting parties of the budget agreements at the local level.
