Integrated supply TK

The Techniker Krankenkasse has initiated an innovative, nationwide, groundbreaking contract in accordance with Section 140f SGB for the integrated care of insured persons with migraines, chronic headaches, neuralgia and nerve pain in order to enable its insured persons throughout Germany to receive modern, high-quality care. first prize for health networkers in 2012 as the best integrated care project in Germany .

The interests of your insured persons, their care and treatment, are the focus. The Kiel Pain Clinic developed integrated care with its conception in 1992 and established it in care in 1997. The accompanying scientific research confirmed high and sustainable efficiency.

Integrated care is described as “the form of care of the future”. The term hides a simple but very effective approach: the three service areas of the healthcare system - outpatient, inpatient and rehabilitative care for patients - should be better networked. Health professionals from different disciplines in practices and hospitals should not only cooperate more closely with each other, but also with non-medical service providers such as pharmacists, physiotherapists or psychologists.

Such networking primarily benefits patients. Because more knowledge and a better exchange of information between everyone involved and working together on a clearly defined therapy goal are the basic requirements for good and sustainably effective care.

With the health care reform of 2004, integrated care, the networking of individual medical and non-medical care areas, is placed at the center of treatment and specifically promoted. This noticeably improves the quality of medical care for patients.

Below you will find out how you can take part in the treatment programs, how they work and which doctors and clinics are involved. Numerous other health insurance companies have joined the care concept. Information can be found here
