We change processes in medicine; we can push a concept through; we will accompany you through an extended implementation period and we guarantee to search for new quality-controlled opportunities while putting the patient first.
There are a number of good reasons for a new attitude in medical-economic thinking: a background of economic restrictions in the health system, increasing financial difficulties many hospitals and university clinics have to struggle with, and above all the fact that control systems in hospitals (dual financing, financing of operating costs with day-based flat hospital rates) with long-term negative effects have triggered off wrong impulses. Whereas in previous years medical services were paid for before they were even conceived, new prevailing conditions push to the foreground the question whether specific medical services and their adaptation to individual patients are even reasonable. While in countries like England the rationalization of medical services will almost certainly have detrimental effects on future developments, we give assistance by determining the way a process should be designed in order to avoid unnecessary services that do not make medical sense from the beginning.
Services that are essential for patients must not be suppressed; the aim can only be to eliminate services that are inappropriate and useless for patients or might even be detrimental concerning their iatrogenic effect.
We do not believe that health systems do not have enough money at their disposal, and experience proves us right. The problem is that money is put into the wrong channels rather than in processes patients benefit from.
