The Villach pilot project for a primary care outpatient clinic is becoming increasingly popular. The medical model could well have a future. An initial assessment.

Overcrowded outpatient clinics in hospitals, long waiting times, unstaffed doctors' surgeries. The development of healthcare systems in Carinthia leaves much to be desired in many places. And a far-reaching reform that could bring costs under control on the one hand and guarantee a high level of care on the other is not in sight.
