German term or phrase: zeitlich, qualitativ und leistungsmäßig umfassende Versorgungspakete
Aufbau ambulanter Gesundheitszentren, ergänzt durch gesetzlich abgesicherte Kooperationsmodelle mit Spitälern, die bedarfsorientiert nach Leistungsverträgen zeitlich, qualitativ und leistungsmäßig umfassende Versorgungspakete anbieten.

The second part of the sentence is doing my head in! Obviously the sentence needs to be restructured, but how? TIA

(meet the needs of the population for) timely, comprehensive, high-quality health services.
Explanation:
Political hot air, I think. "Qualitativ umfassend" to me just means "high quality" (not the full range of quality from good to bad). "Zeitlich umfassend" describes availability when and as needed, in practice that means 24-hour availability as Armorel suggested. I agree with Armorel on "leistungsmäßig umfassend" = "comprehensive".

comprehensive round-the-clock care packages


Explanation:
My off-the-top-of-my-head response would be to say something like "... with hospitals that respond to [local] need by providing a full range of round-the-clock care packages in accordance with performance contracts"

I've assumed that "zeitlich umfassend" means "24-hour" or "round the clock". Leistungsmässig umfassend presumably means "covering the whole range of services", so "comprehensive" would seem to see to that. Qualitativ umfassend throws me a bit, but I would have thought that is was covered by comprehensive too.
