Abstracts by key term: Dementia-specific costs
Using the example of dementia-related illnesses, the Barmer-GEK Care Report 2010 implicitly shows an essential dilemma in health services research: On the one hand, the diverse interdependencies between care and dementia are very well illuminated, and on the other hand, the broader connections between medicine, care and dementia can be presented, but on the other hand The presentation is only of limited use because billing data from outpatient and statutory health care is becoming less and less useful for making statements about the quality of care. This is becoming an increasing challenge for health insurance companies and the health system: How can the performance data from outpatient and statutory health care be meaningfully used for health services research?
