Germany: Society of longevity • Life expectancyatageof 60: • women: 24,9 years • men: 21,3 years • Increasing no. of patients with chronic diseases,above and below 60 years of age • Increasing no. of patients with more than one chronic condition, co- and multimorbidity • “Low fertility, low immigration and long lives”Christensen K, Doblhammer G, Rau R, Vaupel JW: Ageing populations: the challenges ahead.

Disease Management – the ideal Activated patient Pro-active team, evidence-based care Good cooperation primary/secondary care Active sick funds, professional organisations /feed-back trans-sectoral / integrated
DMPs in Germany • 2002/2003 introduction in socialcodebook (SGB V) • Core contentsarecompulsoryforcontractsbetweeninsurersandproviders • Definedby national expert groupsatthelevelofthefederaljointcommittee • Evidencebasedclinicalguidelines • Basic dataset • Quality indicators, provisionoffeedback • Transfer between different levelsofcare • Quality criteriaforpatienteducation • Somesmalldifferences in renumeration, type offeedback etc. byregion/contract • Larger regional differencesin CME, qualitycircles
DMPs in Germany • Patientsanddoctorshavetoenrol • General practitionersplay a leadingrole • Cooperationwithspecialists (ambulatoryandhospitaloutpatient) • Insurershavesomeco-steeringroleforthepatient • Financial incentivesfor sick-fundsfromthe national riskcompensationscheme • Financial incentivesforparticipatingpractices

Secondary outcomes • Mortality • Directandindirectcosts • Quality oflife (SF12 and EQ5D) • Quality ofcare (PACIC) • Health-relatedbehavior (smokingstatus, PE) • Medicationadherence (MARS) • Clinical Endpoints: • DM Type 2: HbA1c, fastingglucose, Hypoglycemia • COPD: Dyspnea, FEV1, exacerbations • CHF: NYHA, decompensations • Resultsavailablesummer 2013
Summary • DMPs in Germany: • Care ismoreorientedaccordingtotheChronic Care Model • Practices aremore pro-active • Patientsaremoreactivated • Care ismorecoordinated • Positive effects on QoLandsurvival • Smallereffects on prescribing, hospitalisationandcosts
