The results show that IM in Germany has considerable potential for optimization of inpatient care. In light of the regional variation in service providers and utilization as well as the potential for avoiding inpatient treatment, the current reform plans represent an opportunity for the reorientation of IM. Not least because of its high relevance, also in terms of numbers, it is therefore right and important that it is given such strong consideration within the reform plans.
