Brief Summary in Lay Language
In the Kinzigtal region – a region surrounding the valley of the river Kinzig in Southwest Germany – an integrated health care project has started in late 2005, attempting to overcome the traditionally fragmented German health care system within this region.
In general, the goal of integrated care systems is to improve the cooperation of health care providers within and between different health care sectors.
This study gathers data, by means of a standardized questionnaire (sent by normal mail), first of all on enrolled patients' satisfaction with (a) their respective doctor of confidence, and (b) with the integrated care system as a whole. For this sake a random sample of enrolled insurants is surveyed.
An amendment of the study was proposed to the ethics committee of the University of Freiburg on August 26, 2014. Accordingly, the study will be amended with respect to two aspects: (1) The study will be continued as a trend study, with the first follow-up taking place two years after the baseline survey. (2) The standardized questionnaire will additionally contain the following instrument in all follow-up surveys: PAM-13-D (German version of the "Patient Activation Measure"). The proposed amendment was considered sound in ethical respects (294/12_140826; letter by the ethics committee as of September 03, 2014). (3) The follow-up survey will be sponsored by Gesundes Kinzigtal GmbH (address cf. below).
