Current developments in the Swiss healthcare system, particularly the introduction of EFAS and the design of national quality contracts under Art. 58a KVG, present an enormous opportunity: We can shift the focus of the debate away from a purely price-based discussion toward genuine management of the quality of care.
Discuss this topic with recognized experts, including the Swiss Quality Commission (EQK), the Scientific Institute of the AOK (WIdO), Prof. Mansky (an expert in hospital and quality management, formerly HELIOS Clinics), as well as representatives from hospitals and insurance.
The seminar will examine the strengths and weaknesses of various quality measurement methods (routine, registry, and process data) and the importance of PROMs and PREMs for managing inpatient care. In addition, the report outlines ways to evaluate additional medical services across various indication areas based on their macroeconomic impacts throughout the healthcare delivery chain, in order to effectively manage and compensate providers (value-based redistribution).
We look forward to your participation and an inspiring dialogue.
