This year's Health Economic Talks focus on the region as a space for shaping healthcare provision. This regional perspective was already suggested by the German Advisory Council on Health in 2009.1 Most recently, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen called for the establishment of "health regions "2 and the metropolitan area Rhine-Neckar GmbH, together with Gesundheitsplattform Rhein-Neckar e.V., has launched a "Rhine-Neckar Health Region" strategy project.3
The conference aims to provide food for thought on how the "health region" design space can be filled with innovative healthcare concepts. Two subject areas will be addressed, with specific projects being presented in each:
- Topic area 1: Neighborhood management
- Topic 2: Regional care aspects - shaping innovation spaces.
Lectures and discussions on both topics will be given by well-known personalities who will contribute their practical experience. Peter Johann, Managing Director of Metropolitan area Rhine-Neckar GmbH, has been invited to give the opening lecture on the topic "Metropolitan area Rhine-Neckar - A health region is forming".
A particular concern is the integration of young health economic expertise. In order to make this visible, the health economics prize for the best bachelor's/master's thesis on a health economics topic, awarded by the Förderverein Gesundheitsökonomie an der Hochschule Ludwigshafen e.V., will be presented at the end of the event.
