New acute operating vehicle in Rendsburg: Review service revolutionized!

Rendsburg, Deutschland - On July 1, 2025, an important new chapter for emergency care began in Rendsburg. The emergency services cooperation in Schleswig-Holstein (RKish) gGmbH has put its first acute operational vehicle (AEF) into operation. This vehicle will now be responsible for the needs -based medical care of patients who need medical clarification, but cannot be classified as acute emergencies. In this way, both the emergency services and the clinics should be significantly relieved. According to ad-hoc-news , the AEF is ready every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The importance of these new emergency vehicles cannot be assessed highly enough. In Rendsburg and the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district, targeted assistance will be given in the future, which can convey specific emergency medical information at the right time. The AEF will be used in particular in the case of subacute search for help that make up about 15 % of the alarms. It is also planned to open other locations in cities such as Heide-Süd, Pinneberg, Kaltenkirchen and Nordoe in 2026 in order to further increase efficiency in the emergency services, as the RKish on its website

a clever approach to relief

This initiative allows a more flexible reaction to individual help needs. The acute emergency paramedics (acute notan), which are equipped with a special 180-hour additional qualification, can quickly react through the use of modern medical software for initial assessment (SMED) and the possibility of consulting telenot doctors. According to rkish , the emergency services will be able to carry out initial investigations and care on site and, if necessary, to refer patients to outpatient facilities.

The legal foundations for the implementation of these acute operating vehicles were already approved in February 2024 by the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Justice and Health. This ensures that the event of hospital transports only takes place at medically necessary indication, which should reduce the pressure on the emergency room.

digitization in emergency medicine

Another aspect that should not go unmentioned is the role of digitization in emergency medicine. After all, modern digital technologies could significantly optimize processes in emergency care. Around 13.4 million emergency services are currently recorded by statutory health insurers. The demand for better IT use comes from various specialist societies and health researchers. According to the Fraunhofer IES, an improvement in digitization in emergency medicine could shorten the response times by up to 50 %, which is decisive for highly penalty emergencies, such as heart attacks, as described on Fraunhofer ese

The introduction of the acute operating vehicle in Rendsburg is therefore an important step towards advanced and needs-based emergency care. The anticipation for future AEF locations and the integration of modern technologies gives hope that emergency medicine in Schleswig-Holstein will continue to gain quality and efficiency. A good hand will be asked here so that this initiative can also be implemented extensively in the coming years.
