Research priorities

Busses research is interdisciplinary between medicine , economics , politics and public health .

Health Technology Assessment : The focus is on method development (today's methodology in Europe has been shaped in particular by Busses publication from 2002) and the political-systemic design, especially in the European context.

Health system research : Busse is significantly involved in the development of international health system research. The focus is on the systematic and comparative description and evaluation ( performance assessment ) of, in particular, European health systems as well as research on the design of social security systems, benefit catalogs and the tension between market and regulation. The coverage cube designed by Busseis used worldwide to describe Universal Health Coverage (see fine targets of the third goal for sustainable development ).

Health economics : The research area mainly relates to the health system level as well as health technologies such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices .

Health Services Research : focus is on the design and effect of compensation mechanisms (especially DRG ( DRG ) systems), models of integrated care , and since the late 90s, the role of nurses , among others related to patient outcomes.

Busse combines these research strands in order to arrive at clear recommendations for politics, for example with regard to a significant reduction in hospital locations and beds while retaining the current clinical staff, which would noticeably improve the quality of care.
