    Needs assessment for Active and Assisted Living-concepts among the elderly
    The European population is becoming older, due to many factors including healthcare improve-ments, medical improvements, increase in life expectancy and reduction of birth rate. At the same time, the profile of the elderly is changing. Therefore it is necessary to identify care and social needs of the older population in order to make appropriate strategic plans that will promote health and extend independency and quality of life. Active and Assisted Living-tech-nologies (AAL-technologies) provide novel opportunities for meeting this needs. Assessments of need often focus on a single parameter. With the usage of the “AAL-Welten-Model” several relevant aspects of life, living and environment are included. This novel needs assessment approach includes different parameter of daily activities and several living charac-teristics of the elderly population. With this approach good transferability of results is ensured into the different AAL categories. The most important benefit of the model is that the elderly population and their needs take the centre stage, which ensures hands-on AAL interventions.

    Health care systems in Austria and Slovenia are currently facing challenges due to scarce resources and demographic change which can be seen especially along the supply chains. The main objective of this paper is to present an option to improve the use of assistive technologies. An extensive literature research for the theoretic part as well as a qualitative survey for the empiric part focusing on short-term care were carried out. Results show that there is a lack of information and training on assistive technologies. As a consequence, their full potential cannot be exploited. Therefore a guideline for nursing consultations was developed. To conclude, both the literature research and the qualitative survey show that assistive technologies have high potentials to improve the supply chains in the health care and social services sector, but there is a lot of information and training on them needed.

    Netzwerkaufbau in der integrierten Versorgung
    (Schaffler-Verlag, 2018-12-14) ; ;
    „Best Point of Service.“ – Warum nicht für die Patienten? Das gegenwärtig stark fragmentierte Gesundheitssystem mit weitgehend sichtbarem Mangel an Versorgungsüberleitungen verlangt nach einer integrierten, patientenzentrierten, sektoren- und berufsgruppenübergreifenden Optimierung der Versorgung. Dezentrale, auf die individuellen Bedarfe und regionalen Versorgungslagen ausgerichtete Versorgungstrukturen stellen sich dabei als in vielerlei Hinsicht bewährte Lösungen dar. Das Wissen um „erfolgreiche Vernetzung“ und „der Aufbau von Netzwerken“ sind zu individuellen und kollektiven Schlüsselkompetenzen unserer Zeit geworden. Wie schafft man es nun, erfolgreiche und patientennahe Netzwerke im Bereich der Gesundheitsversorgung aufzubauen und diese sowohl für Nachfrager nach Gesundheitsdienstleistungen als auch für die Leistungserbringer zufriedenstellend sowie aus Sicht der Gesundheitspolitik effizient, wirtschaftlich und hochstehend Outcome-orientiert zu betreiben?
