Patients should receive the appropriate help more quickly in medical emergencies. The Bundestag has approved a reform of emergency care. The emergency number 112 and the medical on-call service under 116117 are to cooperate more closely in the future. A closer networking of the two contact points is planned. A professional initial assessment by phone or on-site should determine which treatment is necessary. Depending on the urgency, those affected can then be referred to a doctor's office, an on-call practice, or an emergency room. The Bundesrat still needs to approve the reform.
