[High-cost patients in Germany: General description of utilization and costs].

CONCLUSION: Similar to other developed countries, Germany faces the challenge to develop and implement adequate intervention approaches addressing the special requirements of high-cost insured persons. This paper provides a first basis. The analogies of high-cost patients in Germany and other countries illustrate the need for transnational research and intervention approaches on this specific issue. More in-depth work is needed to investigate the potentials of Predictive Modelling and integrated care approaches to the management of these insured persons.
