Within the international discussion on the structure of healthcare systems, managed care is an increasingly important topic. Over more than twenty years managed care approaches have fundamentally influenced healthcare systems in terms of patient orientation, efficiency, and quality. Experts assume that up to 20% of healthcare expenses can be saved by applying high-quality managed care approaches. By using suitable organisational forms and management principles, not only can costs be reduced, but the quality of medical service provision can be augmented. Managed care is therefore much more than a cost-cutting strategy. The goal of this book is to offer a systematic overview of the organisational forms and management instruments implemented in managed care. Advocates consider managed care to be a logical and necessary developmental step in modern healthcare systems. An increase in quality and at the same time a reduction of costs is not seen as contradictory but rather as consistent. Therefore, managed care is a response to changed challenges in the provision of healthcare.

Homecare ist ein junger Bereich, der die stationäre Versorgung mit der ambulanten Nachsorge verbindet und sämtliche weitere Versorger koordiniert. In der Praxis scheitert diese Idee derzeit noch häufig an fehlenden oder unpräzisen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie Akzeptanzbarrieren. Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick der aktuellen Versorgungssituation im Homecare-Bereich in Deutschland. Es diskutiert den Homecare-Markt und seine Potentiale, die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und gibt einen Überblick über nationale und internationale Studien zur Effektivität von Entlassmanagement und sektorenübergreifender Versorgung. Ein Praxisteil präsentiert Ergebnisse einer umfassenden empirischen Studie, die die Perspektiven von niedergelassenen Ärzten, Kliniken und stationärer sowie ambulanter Pflege zum Thema Homecare untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Studie geben Aufschluss über die praktische Umsetzung der Homecare-Idee im Versorgungsalltag sowie die Potentiale und Risiken.

The field of feeding and eating disorders represents one of the most challenging areas in mental health, covering childhood, adolescent and adult manifestations of the disorders and requiring expertise in both the physical and psychological issues that can cause, maintain, and exacerbate these disorders. The scope of the book is an overview of all the feeding and eating disorders from “bench to bedside”, incorporating recent changes introduced into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). The aim is to present one of the first complete overviews of the newly defined area of feeding and eating disorders with respect to genetics, biology and neuroscience through to theory and its application in developing clinical approaches to the prevention and treatment of feeding and eating disorders.
