The health sector is one of the biggest German industries. Due to the medical progress and the aging population, it is growing constantly. Thus, the requirements for supply and cost efficiency are inevitably rising. As a result, the structures are continuously developing – even more so as the German health system must be kept competitive and sustainable.

Patients and service providers will increasingly be confronted with these changes in the upcoming years. Thus, they will have to adapt to the new conditions. In this context, EuPD Research has been surveying here for years, displaying the whole supply chain from the manufacturer via wholesale to the patients. Special attention is given to the requirements of operational health policy since healthy and productive employees are an essential factor for international competition.
 
In companies, the importance of health care is growing. Concrete measures of German enterprises for the health of their employees are shown within the following survey of EuPD Research.
  Health Management 2006/07 – Structures, strategies and potentials of German large-scale enterprises  
  Interviewed companies/method:
The survey “Health Management 2006/07“ – conducted in cooperation with the European Business School – is based on interviews with health officers of the 500 biggest German companies of eleven segments. With more than 100 companies, in-depths interviews regarding structure and positioning, strategy and controlling as well as services and measures took place. By means of selected evaluation criteria, an index of 30 enterprises disposing of an outstandingly good health management was generated.

The result:
Companies use very different approaches and have diverging stages of development. The establishment of an operational health management follows economic considerations in the first place. However, weak points become apparent when it comes to targets and strategic planning. So far, many companies do not know how an efficient health controlling exceeding traditional key figures like absence from work or occupational accidents can look like. Moreover, structures need further professionalization, too. The last point especially applies to the integration of international systems.

  Value added of the survey:
Strategic and structural elements of operational health management are profoundly analyzed. Besides, the validity of certain controlling instruments is evaluated from a practical point of view and it is asked for achieved successes. The subject of “external service providers” has been newly added: Which role do they play in the context of operational health management? In what areas are externals generally appointed, and how is their work organized and graded? Only last year, it became apparent that health management is particularly efficient when it precisely fits the needs of employees. Therefore, special services for target groups such as older employees or shift workers are also in the focus in 2006.
