The doctor search from the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) – the TK doctor guide – has received the German Health Award 2023 in the “Doctors and Clinic Search / Portals” category. TK and the Stiftung Gesundheit, as their technical service provider and data supplier, accepted the award together at the award ceremony as part of the Big Bang Health Festival in Essen. The award is presented by the German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ) and the news channel n-tv.

TK and the foundation are working together to further develop the service

“We are proud that the Techniker Krankenkasse’s doctor search program was honored with the health award,” says Christoph Dippe, CEO of the Health Foundation. “The votes from consumers for this service are positive feedback. We have a long-standing, close collaboration with TK, in which we continue to develop the medical guide together, both technically and editorially.”

Consumer votes decide on the awarding of prizes

Around 45,000 consumers have one representative online survey voted on the satisfaction of products and services from the healthcare industry. Among other things, quality and benefits, variety of offers, reliability, contact options and willingness to recommend others were taken into account in the result.

Basis for the doctor search: The structure directory of care

This is the heart and basis of the TK doctor's guide and numerous other services from the Health Foundation Structural directory of care. The foundation has been constantly cultivating and developing this further for more than 25 years. It currently includes around 580,000 service providers who are actively involved in patient care - including all practicing doctors, dentists and psychological psychotherapists, clinics and rehabilitation clinics as well as numerous other healthcare professionals.
