Abstracts by key term: New forms of care
The importance of holistic, cross-sector care concepts and the associated requirements for the daily work of medical and nursing service providers are in a continuous process of change. New forms of care, intersectoral cooperation and process optimization measures are a central component and at the same time the basis of modern patient care. A transfer of information and knowledge related to these circumstances thus becomes a critical factor for the final quality of the service provision and its maximum possible care efficiency [1]. Building on this, new, complex requirements for technical work tools and communication media are developing, which meaningfully complement existing supply structures or even take on a central cross-sectional function [2, 3]. The influence of electronic procedures increases exponentially as soon as sectoral boundaries are broken particularly frequently in a still fragmented care system, large spatial distances have to be overcome or intersectoral cooperation becomes particularly important in terms of treatment success [3, 4]. All of these factors are of central importance, especially for the design of new and information-intensive forms of care within the meaning of the Fifth Social Security Code (Table 1) [5]. Information and communication technology (ICT) solutions must demonstrate the potential here to better meet the current and future challenges in the healthcare system [6, 7] [8] and at the same time sustainably increase quality and cost-effectiveness [1, 3, 9]

Erfahrungen aus den Vertragsverhandlungen und Schiedsverfahren zur hausarztzentrierten Versorgung Zum 01.01.2009 trat das Gesetz zur Weiterentwicklung der Organisationsstrukturen in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKVOrgWG) in Kraft, das unter anderem auch eine Änderung des § 73b SGB V umfasste. Nach dieser Neuregelung wurden alle gesetzlichen Krankenversicherungen verpflichtet, ihren Versicherten bis zum 30. Juni 2009 eine besondere hausärztliche Versorgung […]

In order to record, evaluate and change care processes, the data collected must be operationalized into meaningful key figures. These key figures reflect the dimensions of finance, performance and quality. Due to the highly sectorized structure of the German healthcare system, the individual healthcare sector has traditionally been assessed. However, modern key performance indicator systems must be able to map a care process that spans sectors, disciplines and professional groups. Through several legislative processes, health insurance companies have been given a more active role in designing new forms of care. The data available to health insurance companies is now of good quality and allows care to be mapped using key figures. For this purpose, key performance indicator systems can be used that enable a cross-supply process parallel to a sector-specific view. Using such systems, health insurance companies can both intervene in the care process and recognize the effects of such an intervention.
