sekTOR-HF: A research project for cross-sectoral needs-based care for patients with heart failure and for the development of an alternative remuneration model - Part 1
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common hospital admissions diagnoses and causes of death in Germany. In the care of HF, there are false incentives owing to quantity-based remuneration and separate remuneration models for inpatient and outpatient care. The research project of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, ‘sekTOR-HF’, has been promoted by the German government’s innovation fund and is intended to ensure better care for HF patients in Germany with the help of optimal coordination of the cross-sectoral care process and new incentives in remuneration. Part 1 describes the initial situation and concept that paved the way for the project in 2020. Patient inclusion began in March 2021. After the project has been completed, in November 2023, a second part will present the project evaluation and the results.
