From evidence to action: Gender-sensitive cardiovascular care – A quantitative survey with physicians working in cardiology departments
Gender-sensitive care (GSC+) is a key component of personalized medicine and essential for ensuring quality and equity in cardiovascular care. By integrating biological, social, and cultural dimensions of gender as well as diversity-related factors, GSC + can enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic effectiveness. Although cardiovascular guidelines increasingly incorporate sex- and gender-specific recommendations, little is known about physici…
Breaking the Gender Gap: Analysis of Gender-Sensitive Healthcare Implementation
Introduction: For myocardial infarction (MI), in-hospital lethality is still significantly higher in women than in men. Medical guidelines and nursing expert standards include recommendations for gender-sensitive care, but it is unknown how these are implemented in health care practice. It is hypothesized that there is a discrepancy between evidence-based GSC+ guidelines and expert standards and their implementation in practice. The HeartGap proj…

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes’ perspectives on digital health interventions to enhance health literacy: A qualitative study
Introduction: Digital health intervention offers the potential to enhance health literacy, which is crucial for effective diabetes management, especially among adolescents. Diabetes is a major global public health issue, leading to devastating complications and increasing mortality rates. The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is also on the rise, particularly among adolescents, necessitating multisectoral strategies to combat this dise…
Is There an Ideal Payment Model That Enables Integrated Care: Searching for the Impossible
Tensions between the Professions: How Integrated Care Can Benefit from Better Understanding and Managing Conflicting Perspectives and Demands
In the transition from fragmented to integrated care, tensions are inevitable. Contradictions between the actors of the different professions involved can have negative but also positive effects on change processes in the healthcare system. This is especially true for integrated care, where collaboration among the workforce is pivotal. Therefore, efforts should not be made to avoid tensions from the outset, if this is at all possible, but to deal…
The Fourth Dimension of the Quadruple Aim: Empowering the Workforce to Become Partners in Health and Care
Evaluation of Complex Interventions in Hard to Serve Regions -Lessons Learned from a German Innovation Fund Project
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Die Zukunft der Arbeit: Im Gesundheitswesen
Die letzten Gesundheitsreformen hatten alle als wesentliche Bestandteile die Sicherstellung der Versorgung mit ausreichend und adäquat qualifiziertem Personal. In der Diskussion fehlt eine tiefergehende Auseinandersetzung mit den tatsächlichen und gefühlten Veränderungen der zukünftigen Arbeitswelt sowie sinnvollen strategischen Optionen. Mit der Anpassung an die wachsenden Ansprüche (zukünftiger) Mitarbeiter allein sind die Herausforderungen nic…
Contract Design: Financial Options and Risk
The first two articles of this series on contract design have shown that complete contracts in healthcare are unrealistic. Healthcare reimbursement contracts are incomplete contracts with a high degree of uncertainty. In incomplete contracts specific contractual regulations are not made for any eventuality. For this reason it is important that the parties agree on the prevention of endogenous risks (asymmetric information after the conclusion of …
Contract Design: The problem of information asymmetry
Information asymmetries are seen as a major obstacle to the efficient operation of integrated care programmes. Coordination and motivation problems cannot be solved at no-costs. The presented problems in the design of selective individual contracts represent a necessary but not a sufficient condition for further government intervention. A state or political failures have to be assumed continuously
What do patients want? Implementing new models of care in hard to serve regions
Introduction: In times of a demographic change many Western countries experience a scarcity of general practitioners in rural and remote areas. These hard to serve regions show a high proportion of older people and, hence, a higher morbidity, while at the same time general practitioners are of higher age and plan on retiring in the near future. While integrated care is primarily applied in a regular care setting, it can even develop a higher pote…
German municipalities and their role in ensuring local primary health care
Introduction: Today, “physician shortage” is widely discussed in German media. In some rural areas the assurance of outpatient medical care, nearby home, is threatened due to developments on supply as well as on the demand side. The ageing population in Germany leads to rising needs for medical services. Further, the regional distribution of physicians and needs for medical services increasingly seems to diverge. Big cities are more attractive to…
How much does the communicator matter in the choice for an integrated care program: A labelled discrete choice experiment
Background: Integrated Care (IC) aims to optimise the processes of healthcare delivery. Thereby the people and their needs should be in the centre of all efforts. So far the needs and preferences for integrated care programs are not well understood. What do people value on integrated care programs? What is important? Which factors do influence the decisions for or against IC? It is assumed that not only the properties of an IC program, but also t…

Integrated care in Germany – a stony but necessary road
German healthcare provides a very comprehensive benefits catalogue, high quality standards, low access barriers and in particular healthcare which is independent from one's income. But at the same time it is one of the most expensive systems in the world. Reasons for the high costs of care are mainly due to the separation of the outpatient, inpatient and rehabilitation sectors, the poor information flow between the service providers and insuffici…
Criteria for the selection and evaluation of integrated care priorities
Aims and Objectives: To identify, define and quantify criteria which are common to integrated care models. To build a framework with these criteria which will enable the evaluation of prospective integrated care activities
