[Review of geriatric clinics and day clinics in Germany]

In this work we review the staff planning and financial aspects of geriatric hospitals and day clinics in Germany. We know that the institutions which we listed by chance do not show an overall model for the whole republic of Germany, but we are sure that it should be possible to derive some conclusions from the data concerning staff and costs of geriatric institutions in Germany. We are planning to expand the study and would be pleased to receive more informations from interested colleagues.
