Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Handbuch Medizinökonomie I: Grundlagen und System
Book SynopsisMedizinökonomie ist die Anwendung ökonomischer Methoden auf die Medizin, insbesondere auf die medizinische Versorgung. Ihr Ziel ist die Verbesserung der medizinischen Behandlung, denn die erfolgreiche Behandlung gilt in der Medizin wie in der Medizinökonomie als oberste Maxime professionellen Handelns. Der wissenschaftliche ebenso wie der praxisbezogene Austausch von Wirtschaft und Medizin gestaltet sich aufgrund der manchmal uneinheitlichen Sicht auf die Dinge schwierig und führt nicht selten zu Missverständnissen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren liefern in diesem Handbuch eine fachlich abgesicherte und zugleich anwendungsbezogene Darstellung der medizinökonomisch relevanten Themenfelder und ermöglichen damit einen fundierten Überblick über den Status quo und die aktuellen Fragen des deutschen Gesundheitssystems.Der erste Band der „Handbuchreihe Medizinökonomie“ widmet sich den medizinökonomischen Grundlagen, stellt das System der Versorgung und ihre Akteure vor, erläutert ausgewählte neue Versorgungsformen und skizziert das Feld der Pflege und anderer Gesundheitsberufe.Table of ContentsGrundlagen der Medizinökonomie.- Medizinische Versorgung.- Neue Versorgungsformen.- Pflege und andere Gesundheitsberufe.
