Abstract: The current health care system, facing a growing pressure for cost reduction and innovation, no longer meets the requirements for an integrated, individual care of patients. In order to examine the structures in detail a „trend-projection“, using the method of the scenario analysis was conducted for the German health care system. As a result, one scenario was identified describing a progressive form of regionalised, private-oriented health care structures less as a controlled process but rather as a result evoked from the economic crisis of the public health care system. Consequently, the question arises in terms of the interpretation and the evaluation of the claims made by the trend scenario as well as their impact on the stakeholders.
