As part of his research work, J.-Prof. Dr. Häckl deals with the financing of the health care system. The basis for this is the morbidity-oriented risk structure compensation (Morbi-RSA) of the statutory health insurances (GKV). Of particular interest are the conditions under which such a morbidity-oriented system can offer prevention incentives to health insurers. In addition to the distribution mechanisms within the SHI system, Dr. Häckl is concerned with reimbursement systems and pricing in the individual sectors. Currently, for example, the effect of model projects for mentally ill patients is being considered. The questions, which incentives are generated by an alternative form of remuneration and whether this can be evaluated from a health economic point of view, are in the focus.
Based on the financing and remuneration of the health care system, Dennis Häckl sees great potential in research into the economic significance of diseases of civilization. It is currently apparent, for example, that many innovative drug therapies for people with type II diabetes mellitus also have a positive impact on cardiovascular events. Thus, their cost and care situation must be researched in more detail - with the aim of being able to develop efficient, cross-sectoral and patient-oriented care concepts. The linking of SHI data with study data, which allow more precise characterization of the patients and their living conditions, is particularly attractive.
