The guests contributed their expertise from various medical specialties, scientific healthcare research and medical history, resulting in a highly interesting interdisciplinary exchange on the far-reaching effects of medical diagnoses on a professional, social and individual level.

It was particularly interesting to take a look behind the scenes of the day-to-day business of medical professors in conjunction with the historical classification of current medical classification efforts and care conditions. This created a multi-layered picture of the effectiveness of diagnoses and the resulting consequences for doctors and patients.

Overall, the 4th ZAB Forum was an inspiring platform for the exchange of experiences and perspectives on a central topic in the medical landscape. The questions about the effectiveness of changing diagnoses, the care situation of patients and the responsibility of the medical profession are topical and call for further improvement in the care situation, especially for people with disabilities.
