Health economics: costs and benefits of selected treatment pathways using breast cancer as an example

The research project aims to investigate and optimize treatment costs and pathways for a selected chronic disease. On this basis, recommendations for action are to be developed for the implementation partners involved and ideas for new business models are to be elicited. Cost-benefit aspects are to be taken into account and, in particular, patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes are to be analyzed and operationalized. The project offers the opportunity to make a cross-national comparison of costs and services in the healthcare sector for the first time. The Lake Constance region could thus assume a pioneering role internationally.
