摘要:
The current law of patients' rights brings together the patients'rights at one uniform place in the civil code (BGB) in order to give the patients more transparency over their rights in case of an error in medical treatment. Special attention thereby is to be applied to the duties to inform the patient, which are now legally confirmed in 630c and 630e BGB and which codify the different requirements on the attending doctor. The restrictions set up by the regulations of the statutory health insurance concerning the medical standard owed within treatment remain unchanged, with the consequence, that the physician achieves his now legally codified duties as long as he points out these regulations to the patient.
