Vier Sterne Plus

4 star plus instead of the ordinary hospital standard – David-Ruben Thies, CEO of a hospital in Thuringia, has an ambitious plan. He dreams of the hospital of the future: A comfortable patient hotel, designed by a star architect, with organic food and an open fire – even for patients with public health insurance. Every patient will be treated as a guest, regardless of being publicly or privately insured. A place, where innovative care concepts are combined with medical quality and the best working conditions for the staff. But basically, his goal is much bigger: With his patient hotel, he wants to set new standards and revolutionize the healthcare system from within. To achieve this, he challenges established norms, habits and political standards. He considers the sleeves of the doctor’s white coats to be a source of germs and wants to cut them off. He wants to get rid of doctors’ offices and the standard two-bedroom. In HOSPITALity David meets Goliath: The German healthcare system. A look behind the scenes. How far can he go? What can he achieve? A film about a system that should focus on our well-being.
