Patient coaching: Innovative approach for more efficiency in healthcare
Patient coaching as an innovative service in healthcare serves the purpose of promoting therapy adherence (compliance, adherence), active participation and self-management of patients in overcoming their illness, taking into account individual preferences. In this episode, examples are given of the efficiency reserves that can be expected from patient coaching compared to the effects of drug discount agreements, and that some health insurance companies have integrated patient coaching programs into their care management as pilot projects. A classification matrix is presented for more transparency of coaching programs. In addition, numerous open questions are addressed, which could be answered by appropriate health services research.
