[Innovations in medicine--the structured way from an idea to recognized treatment]

New techniques in medicine in an enormous variety and limited financial resources make it necessary to define step by step the "national medical how to do". This is to be done by the four boards of health care self-government--especially by the "Koordinierungsausschuss". Thus the clinically active physicians are enabled to implement their own new ideas and their own innovations--especially via high quality guidelines, consented within the scientific societies. This new closed circle, a kind of "government free zone" should be used intensively by all active colleagues.
