Pilot project Häppi in Schönau: General practitioners rely on digital future!

Schönau am Königssee, Deutschland - In Bavaria, a pioneering pilot project starts to increase efficiency in family practices. Under the name Häppi (general practitioner primary care center - patient care interprofessional), nine selected practices take part in the three -year test to test new structures and digital instruments to optimize patient care. The affected practices have the goal of creating more time for patients through improved distribution of tasks and integration of non-medical health professions. The group practice of Dr. Wienert and Dr. Eder in Schönau am Königssee in Berchtesgadener Land is one of the participating institutions. The project officially started on July 1, 2025, and is supposed to serve as a model for future family doctor practices.

Another goal is to control the health system through targeted networking and gatekeeping in order to avoid over-, sub- and false care.

goals and advantages of the Häppi concept

The Häppi concept was developed in cooperation with the University of Heidelberg. According to häev the project pursues several central goals:

• Strengthening living responsibility through feedback via patient-reported-outcomes (pros).
• integration of non-medical health professions in team practice.
• Promotion of outpatient cladding through modular supply options.

These measures are aimed at enabling even small practices of sustainable patient care. The core elements of Häppi can be implemented regardless of the practical size, which is particularly important for rural areas.
