Discussion and conclusions Institute for Health Care Management and Research
Discussion • For both indications currently available evaluations do not allow a qualified assessment of the effectiveness of care managemnt programs • Low number of published evaluations: • sensitive data, only for internal use • Possible causes for the failure of evaluation: • internal controlling is considered as sufficient • disproportionately high effort • Managed care programs in development • evaluation occurs with delay • No involvement in evaluations of contractual partners or no information about results Institute for Health Care Management and Research
Discussion • Limited incentives for the statutory health insurance in developing care management programs for Alzheimer’s disease • excluded from Morbi-RSA • low costs of illness for the health insurance • most costs apportioned to informal carers and care insurance Institute for Health Care Management and Research

Discussion • Care management programs for Multiple sclerosis imply more incentives for the statutory health insurance • more potentials in cost-reduction • high hospitalisation rate • ambulant treatment of episodes possible • considered in Morbi-RSA • Usually longer interval between initial diagnosis and care dependency • long period of cost responsibility of health care insurance Institute for Health Care Management and Research
Conclusions Institute for Health Care Management and Research Ambiguity about effectiveness of care management programs for MS and AD To ensure the goal-orientation and avoid misallocations the measurement of success is necessary Evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for developing new care programs required Need for more transparency to enable orientation on best-practice
