Abstract
It is not simply in the wake of social change and demographic developments that demands on stakeholders in the health care system have grown. The increasing rationalization and mechanization of care processes, as well as an ongoing professionalization of the health care professions, have also played a major role here. Such developments pose particular challenges, such as in the form of rising patient numbers, shorter hospital stays, and increasingly complex treatment options and needs. As a result of such factors, the respective expertise of the various health care professions is in equal demand. In this context, neither patient needs nor the increasingly complex requirements of modern care processes adhere to occupational boundaries.
