Research and Surveys

Research and Surveys realized by Stiftung Gesundheit

Few areas are as subject to the fast pace of change as is the medical sector. New developments require for instance that medical professionals implement quality management systems, cope with patients’ online ratings of the doctor’s office, and address technological, business and healthcare policy issues.

What is the current sentiment and outlook of physicians in Germany? What is the state of quality management and patient safety? Stiftung Gesundheit commissions representatives studies in such areas and more in cooperation with universities and other research facilities. Areas of additional interest include doctors’ ratings, practice accessibility and further topics which foster transparency in healthcare.
