Author: Oliver Franz
Summary: Die Publikation beleuchtet die Änderungen der letzten Jahre im europäischen Gesundheitssektor (vor allem an den Beispielen Deutschland und UK) und prognostiziert diesbezüglich weitere zu erwartende Trends. Dabei wird im einzelnen auf die enorm gestiegenen Gesundheitskosten, die Einführung neuer Systeme zur Vergütung von Gesundheitsleistungen, Marktkonsolidierungs- und Privatisierungstendenzen und die sich daraus ergebende verschärfte Konkurrenzsituation für Anbieter eingegangen. Die damit verbundene größere Arbeitsbelastung für Beschäftigte erhöht das Risiko von ärztlichen Behandlungsfehlern. Im Anschluß wird herausgestellt, wie die Entwicklungen bei einer gleichzeitigen Zunahme der Prozessfreudigkeit von Geschädigten eine Angleichung von Arzthaftpflichtdeckungen sowie intensiveres Risikomanagement nötig machen.

Insurance Issues Europe 2002/12 - Impending Changes in the European Health Care Sector and the Effect on Risk Management and Malpractice Insurance - Click here to order printed copy or download PDF file (size:0.28MB)

Issue: December, 2002 Language: English
Author: Oliver Franz
Summary: The publication explores the changes that have occurred in the European health sector in recent years (based on the examples of Germany and the UK, in particular) and forecasts further trends expected in this area. Specific subjects discussed include the steep increase in the cost of health-care, the introduction of new compensation systems for health services rendered, market consolidation and privatization trends and the resulting situation of intensified competition among providers. The associated rise in the workload of health-care staff exacerbates the risk of medical malpractice. Finally, the article points out how this development, accompanied by growing litigiousness on the part of victims, will necessitate an adjustment of medical malpractice covers and a more comprehensive approach to risk management.
