Sievers Sprechrunde - Der Medizin - und Gesundheitstalk116 117-Arztrufzentrale mit Dr. Michael KleinDie Notaufnahmen von Krankenhäusern werden zunehmend von Patienten überrannt, die keine echten Notfälle sind. Ähnlich ist es mit dem Anfordern von Rettungswagen. Das führt zu Problemen für die echten Notfälle. Seit einiger Zeit ist die Arztrufzentrale als Callcenter für Patienten zur Vermittlung von Notfallpraxen eingerichtet. Die Nummer ist 116 117. Ziel ist es Patienten mit Bagatellerkrankungen in die diensthabenden Praxen umzuleiten und damit die überfüllten Notaufnahmen und den Rettungsdienst zu entlasten.
