The health state of Schleswig-Holstein is on the move. Health actors work closely together, across sector boundaries, develop patient pathways and provide ‘All-round, Assistance and Escort Service’. Mobile physicians provide universal access to health care. Telemedicine makes long distances and long wait superfluous. System partners offer innovative solutions from medical technology to supply and change management. Patients get information on the Internet and want to be involved - who can help them?Mobility has many advantages, but it provides challenges:
