Mastering the medical mindshift: The anti-Eris strategy

Data, facts and instruments on the German health system

What it’s about

Conflicts between medical professionals have fundamentally destructive effects on the quality of care and work of GP and specialist practices and are detrimental to the overall success of the practice, especially if they remain unresolved for a longer period of time.
