Pinneberg plans to introduce acute emergency vehicles to improve medical care from July 2026.
New acute emergency vehicle in Rendsburg: rescue service revolutionized!
On July 1, 2025, a significant new chapter for emergency care began in Rendsburg. The rescue service cooperation in Schleswig-Holstein (RKiSH) gGmbH has put its first acute emergency vehicle (AEF) into operation. This vehicle will now be responsible for providing appropriate medical care to patients who require medical evaluation but cannot be classified as acute emergencies. This should significantly reduce the burden on both the emergency services and the clinics. Loud Ad hoc news The AEF is available daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. - including weekends and public holidays.
The importance of these new emergency vehicles cannot be overestimated. In the future, targeted assistance will be provided in Rendsburg and the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district area, which can provide specific emergency medical information at the right time. The AEF will be used in particular for subacute requests for help, which make up around 15% of alerts. There are also plans to open further locations in cities such as Heide-Süd, Pinneberg, Kaltenkirchen and Nordoe in 2026 in order to further increase efficiency in the rescue service, as the RKiSH says on its website presented in detail.
A clever approach to relief
This initiative allows a more flexible response to individual needs for help. The acute emergency paramedics (Akut-NotSan), who are equipped with a special 180-hour additional qualification, can react quickly through the use of modern medical software for initial assessment (SmED) and the opportunity to consult with tele-emergency doctors. Loud RKiSH The emergency services will be able to carry out initial examinations and care directly on site and, if necessary, refer patients to outpatient facilities.
The legal basis for the implementation of these acute emergency vehicles was approved by the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Justice and Health in February 2024. This ensures that hospital transport only takes place when medically necessary, which should reduce the pressure on emergency rooms.
Digitalization in emergency medicine
Another aspect that should not go unmentioned is the role of digitalization in emergency medicine. After all, modern digital technologies could significantly optimize emergency care processes. There are currently around 13.4 million emergency service calls for people with statutory health insurance. The demand for better IT use comes from various professional societies and health researchers. According to Fraunhofer IESE, improving digitalization in emergency medicine could shorten response times by up to 50%, which is crucial in highly urgent emergencies such as heart attacks Fraunhofer IESE described.
The introduction of the acute emergency vehicle in Rendsburg is therefore a significant step towards progressive and needs-based emergency care. The anticipation of the future AEF locations and the integration of modern technologies gives hope that emergency medicine in Schleswig-Holstein will continue to improve in quality and efficiency. A good hand will be required here so that this initiative can be implemented successfully on a comprehensive basis in the coming years.
