Update on Hospital Law, September 2026
Update on Hospital Law: Hospitals Facing Financing, New Models of Care, and Regulatory Challenges
The hospital landscape continues to undergo profound change. While hospital reform and the allocation of service groups dominate much of the current discussion, hospitals are simultaneously facing further legal and economic challenges.
In our Hospital Law Update on September 29, we address four topics that are currently of particular practical importance to hospital operators and decision-makers.
Transformation Fund: What Do the New Funding Guidelines Entail?
The Transformation Fund is intended to support the structural development of hospital care. We explain the current requirements of the funding guidelines and highlight the aspects hospitals should consider when planning and applying for funded projects.
Cross-Sector Care Facilities: A New Form of Care at the Interface of Sectors
Cross-sector care facilities (süV) are intended to more closely integrate inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care services. We examine the legal framework and the associated issues for hospitals.
Strategies for Regulatory Challenges: Handling and Legal Protection Against G-BA Decisions
Regulatory requirements can present hospitals with significant practical and economic challenges. Using the example of emergency response level regulations, we examine options for dealing with such requirements as well as avenues for legal protection against decisions by the Joint Federal Committee.
Employees on sick leave: legal framework and continued pay
Hospitals are also increasingly dealing with labor law issues related to absences due to illness. We provide an overview of the legal framework and highlight what employers should keep in mind, particularly when it comes to continued pay.
