Presents a
comprehensive and coherent strategy to reform the German health care system
-
Outlines
actionable recommendations to providers of health care, insurance plans,
policy-makers and patients to improve the value of German health care
-
Delivers a
functional description of the German health care system providing an
excellent overview for practitioners in the field
The German health care system is on a collision course
with budget realities. Costs are high and rising, and quality problems are
becoming ever more apparent. Decades of reforms have produced little change to
these troubling trends.
Why has Germany failed to solve these cost and quality problems? The reason is
that Germany has not set value for patients as the overarching goal, defined as
the patient health outcomes achieved per euro expended.
This book lays out an action agenda to move Germany to a high value system: care
must be reorganized around patients and their medical conditions, providers must
compete around the outcomes they achieve, health plans must take an active role
in improving subscriber health, and payment must shift to models that reward
excellent providers. Also, private insurance must be integrated in the
risk-pooling system.
These steps are practical and achievable, as numerous examples in the book
demonstrate. Moving to a value-based health care system is the only way for
Germany to continue to ensure access to excellent health care for everyone. |

Umfassende Strategie zur
Reformierung des deutschen Gesundheitswesens
-
Konkrete Vorschläge zur
Neuorientierung rund um den Patientennutzen
-
Klarer Überblick und
Handlungsempfehlungen für die Akteure im Gesundheitswesen
Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem ist auf
Kollisionskurs mit der ökonomischen Realität. Die Kosten sind hoch und steigen
weiter, und Qualitätsprobleme bei den Leistungserbringern werden immer
offensichtlicher. Jahrzehnte von Reformen haben diesen besorgniserregenden Trend
kaum geändert.
Warum hat es Deutschland nicht geschafft, die Kosten- und Qualitätsprobleme zu
lösen? Das heutige System ist dominiert von Partikularinteressen. Nicht
Kostenkontrolle, sondern die Steigerung des Patientennutzens – definiert als
Behandlungsergebnis pro ausgegebenem Euro – ist das Ziel, das alle Akteure
vereinigen kann.
Dazu muss man nicht auf die nächste Gesundheitsreform warten. Massive
Verbesserungen lassen sich schon heute zum Vorteil aller verwirklichen. In den
zwölf Empfehlungen des Buches geht es darum, wie sich Leistungserbringer um
Krankheitsbilder organisieren, wie Wettbewerb um messbare Ergebnisqualität die
Norm wird, wie Krankenkassen eine aktivere Rolle in der Gesundheit ihrer
Versicherten einnehmen und wie das Vergütungssystem zukünftig Exzellenz in der
Versorgung einzelner Krankheitsbilder belohnen sollte. Darüber hinaus zeigen die
Autoren, warum die Einbindung der Privaten Krankenversicherung in den
Risikostrukturausgleich der Gesetzlichen Krankenkassen unausweichlich ist.
Wenn der Patientennutzen in den Mittelpunkt gestellt wird, entstehen Chancen für
alle.
