DILUTED PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CATEGORIES IN THE THREE TYPES OF MEDICAL CARE CENTRES IN GERMANY

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: With the German Healthcare Reform Act of 2004, Germany’s legislature enabled medical care centres to provide statutory health insurance doctor services. Core of Work: This political measure was introduced with several goals in mind: to draw... majority of junior medical staff are women, the medical care centres’ were to develop and promote part-time work models. Furthermore, there were hopes of achieving better integration of the “out-patient” and “in-patient” sectors and, by means of the units, of bringing about medical care that is “from a single source” or “under one roof”. Objectives: The aim of improving the management of the medical care centre units is pursued in day-to-day practice and also by means of theoretical knowledge. This paper wishes to make an additional contribution in this regard. Methodology: In doing so, it makes use of model development and typological questionnaire as research method. Findings: The property rights approach plays a crucial role in the context of medical care centres, as the distribution and concentration of information has a major influence on the decisions made in the medical care centres. The three types of medical care centres are different in regard of business administration categories. Conclusion: This paper interlinks the medical care centre and property rights theory and examines the effects of the extent of property rights concentration.
