YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Workforce gaps strain care delivery and operating models
- Germany’s health workforce employs over 6 million people, yet an ageing population and shortages in nursing and primary care are increasing workload and wait times.
- Against this backdrop, YCP maps demand and capacity, redesigns care pathways and workforce models, and builds practical retention and productivity roadmaps.
Hospital reform reshapes portfolios and financial resilience
- Germany had 1,874 hospitals in 2023, while hospital reform is introducing service groups and new planning rules from 2025 amid persistent cost pressure.
- In response, YCP supports providers with portfolio strategy, service-line assessments, operating-model redesign and implementation plans for sustainable care delivery.
Digital care progress is slowed by fragmented data systems
- The opt-out electronic patient record began rolling out in 2025, but legacy systems, fragmented data and cyber risk still limit end-to-end care coordination.
- To turn digital policy into value, YCP defines transformation roadmaps, prioritises high-impact use cases and strengthens data, process and governance capabilities.
Ageing demand tests financing, access and care coordination
- More than 23% of Germans are aged 65 or older, raising chronic-care demand as statutory health insurance covers around 90% of the population.
- As demand becomes more complex, YCP helps organisations segment populations, optimise care networks and develop scalable models for prevention and chronic care.
