Book Chapter Description

The German healthcare system has experienced an enormous cost increase in recent years due to demographic change, the growing rates of chronic diseases and the comparatively good healthcare and health service provision. The current changes to healthcare in Germany are leading to new challenges that must be met with new ways of healthcare delivery, especially for the increasing number of patients with chronic disease. “Gesundes Kinzigtal” is a flagship-project managing a fully population-based integrated care system since 2005 with a new and innovative financing model using shared savings contracts. Since 2007, the project has offered a secondary prevention programme to reduce the development of risk factors related to the metabolic syndrome, the development of type-2-diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Gesundes Kinzigtal strives for the Triple Aim consisting of better cost-effectiveness of care, improved patient experiences of care and improved health outcomes.
