Das deutsche Gesundheitswesen befindet sich in einem radikalen Umbruch. Steigende Gesundheitsausgaben, eine Entwicklung der Bevölkerungspyramide, die noch höhere Ausgaben für die Zukunft erwarten lässt, und Patienten, die zunehmend individuellere Leistungen einfordern, sind hierfür nur exemplarisch. Ansätze zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen finden sich in den vielfältigen Managementinstrumenten und Organisationsformen von Managed Care. Darunter versteht man den Einsatz von Managementinstrumenten im Gesundheitswesen, die zumindest partielle Integration der Funktionen Leistungserstellung und Finanzierung sowie die Auswahl geeigneter Leistungserbringer (selektives Kontrahieren). Das Buch stellt die Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Organisationsformen dar, wie beispielsweise integrierte Versorgungssysteme, und geht auf Instrumente wie Disease Management, Case Management, Evidence Based Medicine, HTA, DRGs, Bonus- und Malussysteme, Leitlinien und viele andere praxisrelevante Managementansätze ein. In 17 aktuellen Fallstudien werden darüber hinaus erfolgreiche Konzepte aus den USA, Großbritannien und Deutschland vorgestellt. Damit richtet sich "Managed Care" nicht nur an Studenten und Dozenten der Gesundheitsökonomie und des Gesundheitsmanagements, sondern vor allem auch an Manager im Gesundheitswesen und in der Versicherungswirtschaft sowie an ökonomisch interessierte Mediziner und andere Gesundheitsdienstleister. Univ.-Prof. Dr. oec. Volker Eric Amelung ist Professor für Gesundheitssystemforschung an der Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover und Geschäftsführer des Bundesverbandes Managed Care e.V.

Within the international discussion on the structure of healthcare systems, managed care is an increasingly important topic. Over more than twenty years managed care approaches have fundamentally influenced healthcare systems in terms of patient orientation, efficiency, and quality. Experts assume that up to 20% of healthcare expenses can be saved by applying high-quality managed care approaches. By using suitable organisational forms and management principles, not only can costs be reduced, but the quality of medical service provision can be augmented. Managed care is therefore much more than a cost-cutting strategy. The goal of this book is to offer a systematic overview of the organisational forms and management instruments implemented in managed care. Advocates consider managed care to be a logical and necessary developmental step in modern healthcare systems. An increase in quality and at the same time a reduction of costs is not seen as contradictory but rather as consistent. Therefore, managed care is a response to changed challenges in the provision of healthcare.

This handbook gives profound insight into the main ideas and concepts of integrated care. It offers a managed care perspective with a focus on patient orientation, efficiency, and quality by applying widely recognized management approaches to the field of health care. The handbook also provides international best practices and shows how integrated care does work throughout various health systems. The delivery of health and social care is characterised by fragmentation and complexity in most health systems throughout the world. Therefore, much of the recent international discussion in the field of health policy and health management has focused on the topic of integrated care. “Integrated” acknowledges the complexity of patients´ needs and aims to meet it by taking into account both health and social care aspects. Changing and improving processes in a coordinated way is at the heart of this approach.
