Forecasting, Concept Design & Development

The IGES Institut has extensive expertise in developing and designing new models of care, programmes and interventions. Our focus is on improving the quality and benefits of healthcare and long-term care provision from the perspective of all stakeholders – including patients, service providers and payers – while taking the relevant legal framework into account.

Using quantitative modelling and expert-based methods that draw on conceptual considerations, available secondary data or newly collected primary data, we can analyse the potential impact of new models of care or regulatory changes on stakeholders and from the patient perspective as early as the concept and development stages. Forecasts based on these methods provide a knowledge- and data-driven basis for decisions on future developments, taking into account healthcare needs, user preferences and the anticipated effects of policy, regulatory and healthcare-related decisions.
