Outpatient specialist medical care targets the intersectoral and interdisciplinary cooperation between hospital physicians and panel physician structures in the diagnostics and treatment of certain disease symptoms under the same framework conditions. The administrative coordination bundled through one person has contributed to an effective placement of applications. In this way the daunting effect of bureaucratic hurdles for potential team members could be intercepted. A close and constructive collaboration of all participants is helpful to come to terms with the new treatment structure and to achieve the anticipated targets for patients, panel physicians and hospitals.
