Although chronic diseases build the main focus of health problems, the German health care system is not sufficiently prepared to deal with the new challenges. The reasons are diverse, but one of the most decisive is that the various consequences in dealing with chronic disease are scarcely noticed by the health service. These consequences are brought out by the following article by referring to the available literature and our own studies and are discussed in its implications for a needs-driven design of care. Special attention is paid to care, because it increasingly assumes a key role in the treatment of chronically ill, which still faces barriers in this country. These discussed are also.
尽管慢性病是健康问题的主要焦点，但德国医疗保健系统在应对新挑战方面准备不足。原因是多方面的，但最具决定性的因素之一是，医疗服务机构几乎没有注意到应对慢性病所产生的各种后果。以下文章通过参考现有文献和我们自己的研究，揭示了这些后果，并讨论了其对以需求为导向的护理设计的影响。护理受到特别关注，因为它在慢性病治疗中日益发挥关键作用，而在该国慢性病治疗仍面临障碍。这些也将进行讨论。
