Abstract

The idea of family doctor-based health care corresponds to a social necessity for economical health care and a basic requirement for family doctors. However, this request is turned into the opposite by the legal description of a "particularly qualified family doctor". Economic interests dominate, dissect the family doctor level and influence long-standing family doctor-patient relationships and put the performance of social goals into question. Against that, the Family Doctor Association is setting the concept for family doctor-based integrated care, which also places quality demands, but does not exclude physicians basically or by selection of the compulsory health insurance fund.
