Abstract

The shortage of general practitioners (GPs) in Germany, particularly in rural areas, is a pressing issue that requires innovative and sustainable solutions. One promising approach is the integration of trained medical assistants to support GPs by handling specific tasks, thus enhancing the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Delegated home visits can be carried out by healthcare professionals (HPs) with a well-defined range of tasks.
