Health

A physician is talking to a young female patient.

A high-quality healthcare system ensures access to medically necessary services for all citizens and promotes personal responsibility among healthcare consumers. It allows effective competition between service providers and insurance funds and creates incentives for high-quality and efficient care. At the same time, it provides transparency on the quality of care offered by service providers. All of the processes in the healthcare chain, from wellness initiatives and prevention to emergency medical care, rehabilitation, and ongoing care are closely interlinked. Wellness initiatives and prevention are anchored in the lives of children, adults and seniors.

Focus areas

Healthcare system

Drawing on international research and the ideas of leading actors in Germany, we strive to develop long-term solutions to meet the challenges of demographic change and advancements in medical science and technology.

High-quality care

We are working to establish a healthcare system that places equal emphasis on promoting, maintaining and restoring health. Within this system, excellent incentive systems ensure that care is high quality and cost-effective, and clear and comprehensible information on the quality of care is available to all healthcare consumers.

Healthy environments

We advocate wellness initiatives and preventative measures that can be integrated into the living environments of people of all ages -- in childcare centers, schools, businesses and community organizations. To be effective, such environments must interface with the overall healthcare system.
