Abstract
Thorough health economic research of budget-relevant diseases should be one of the major tasks in the German health care system. Up to now cost studies were only performed for special research questions and/or with very limited focuses, e.g. the patients' view. Hence, federal programmes, like competence networks for certain diseases, which were introduced by the German Ministry for Research and Education in the late 1990s, should give a broader focus on health services research. With such an approach health politicians may obtain a deeper insight into areas of the health care sector which are likely to be more efficient after reorganisation. The process of a structured analysis of certain diseases will be demonstrated using the example of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To this end, the results of a research programme sponsored within the Competence Network for Musculoskeletal Diseases will be presented. Direct costs, indirect costs as well as values for health-related quality of life of German RA patients in routine care by generalists and specialists will be discussed.
