| Zielsetzung: |
| The overall objective of this project is to use research methods to describe different primary care models in Europe, assess their quality in different dimensions – particularly access, equity and satisfaction - and determine their cost. We analyse variations of both quality and cost as they apply to specific organisational models in Europe, and we study the possible trade-offs between quality and costs in each model. Key research challenges are the following: (i) to apply an innovative approach to identify and describe European primary care models, (ii) to develop and pilot a methodology to study relevant healthcare costs at macro and micro-level, and (iii) to combine surveys addressing perceptions of public and health professionals along with a review of clinical data to assess quality. |
