    Some European countries use information on hospital quality within the planning process to allocate services to the most appropriate provider. Specif c hospital planning is commonly driven by mandates and stewardship at the national level and is conducted at the regional level. In general, four sets of policy levers are used. First, countries use legal mandates to oblige quality-based considerations in planning or purchasing on national level. The second policy involves conducting qualifying quality assessments. The process identif es hospitals and departments that meet the quality criteria. Thirdly, some examples show that selective contracting or planning is possible. This enables purchasers to contract only those providers who are most likely to produce good quality care. And finally, centralisation of highly specialized medical procedures allows for the accumulation of experience for low volume and high technicality procedures. Similar initiatives should be considered to become part of a nationwide planning approach in Germany to further develop the hospital landscape for future challenges.
