Strukturion of Future Thinking
The term “realaverism” describes the tendency to deny or ignore unpleasant realities and often externalise them. In German medical practices, this realaverism manifests itself, for example, in the way in which the phenomenon of no-shows, i.e. the absence of patients from agreed appointments without prior cancellation, is dealt with.
The leadership skills of practice owners are of crucial importance for future-oriented GP and specialist practice management.

The “classical” medical imaging procedures help physicians to make diagnostic-therapeutic decisions and serve the purpose of monitoring progress. Practice management benchmarking fulfills the same purpose with regard to primary care and specialty physician management with the help of ratios and their presentation.

The requirements of the medical target groups relevant to the offerings of pharmaceutical and medical technology companies have changed significantly. Increasingly, the players also want support in practice management. The “laboratory values approach” helps healthcare providers in this regard.

In today’s world, effectiveness and efficiency are important factors for a successful medical practice. While many established general practitioners and specialists often avoid these topics, the younger generation of physicians recognises their central importance for sustainable and patient-centred practice management.

Medical assistants are playing an increasingly important role in family and specialist practices. Delegating tasks to female staff has long since ceased to be a necessity based on the principle of division of labor, and is now an opportunity for physicians in private practice to optimize their workflow and patient care. Yet most practice owners delegate incorrectly.
