The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes.

Für die Wirksamkeit von psychotherapeutischen und psychiatrischen Leistungen gibt es inzwischen hinreichend viele gesicherte Belege - die Untersuchung von Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz dieser Interventionen steht dagegen erst am Anfang. Bei der Untersuchung von Kosten- und Nutzenfaktoren ergeben sich vielfältige Herausforderungen: Die Besonderheiten des gegliederten Versorgungssystems müssen berücksichtigt werden sowie die Schwierigkeit, Verbesserungen des seelischen Befindens in vergleichbare "Nutzeneinheiten" umzurechnen ohne dabei die Stabilität der erwarteten Effekte aus den Augen zu verlieren. Dieses Buch behandelt die Grundlagen gesundheitsökonomischer Untersuchungen und ihre ...
