[Cost-Effectiveness of Case and Care Management in Older Populations in Germany: a Systematic Literature Review].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite trends toward longer-lasting health, the complexity of older people's health problems is increasing, raising the need for interprofessional care in all settings. A lack of coordination among providers risks fragmented care, leading to a repetition or gaps in services, conflicting treatment recommendations, medication errors and higher costs. Accordingly, new integrated models of care are needed that are based on patient needs. Case and Care Management (CCM) is currently being tested in Germany in a variety of settings to improve care.

Aim of the study

The aim of the present study was to analyze the results of health economic evaluations of CCM interventions in Germany in populations over 60 years of age compared to standard care.
