Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Fifteen years ago, a DRG flat-rate system was implemented for hospital remuneration, sparking ongoing debates in the hospital sector, politics, and academia. This anthology presents critical perspectives on the DRG system, targeting experts in politics, science, and associations, as well as the general public interested in health care and hospital care design. Contributions are made by a range of professionals, including Nikola Biller-Andorno, Ingo Bode, and others, covering topics such as the effects of the DRG system on medical and nursing services, patient care quality, and the system's inertia with potential solutions. The target audience includes students, educators, researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, and journalists. The publishers include Dr. Anja Dieterich, a policy officer for health care at Diakonie Deutschland; Dr. Bernard Braun, an associate health scientist at the SOCIUM of the University of Bremen; Prof. Dr. Thomas Gerlinger, a Professor of Health Policy at Bielefeld University; and Prof. Dr. Michael Simon, a retired university lecturer focused on health care systems and policy. This anthology aims to foster informed discussions and insights into the complexities of the DRG system and its implications for health care delivery.
