[Quality of ambulatory medical care in the context of age and care-dependency: Results of a cross-sectional analysis of German health claims data].
CONCLUSION: Measurement of ambulatory medical care of an elderly population based on health claims data is feasible and shows differences in care processes of older and care-dependent individuals if place of residency and level of care-dependency are considered. Further development of the QIs explored should incorporate a thorough methodical foundation, particularly with regard to risk adjustment. In addition, the contribution of individual and contextual factors on QIs remains to be examined with a view to the community-dwelling care-dependent elderly and their ongoing residency in this setting.
