Datenquellen zum Krankengeld im deutschen Gesundheitswesen - eine Übersicht sowie Empfehlungen für die Versorgungsforschung

Which data source is most suitable for analyses of sick pay and sick pay recipients, strongly depends on the research question. There may be a trade-off between depth and applicable analytical methods on the one hand (e. g. with data of single sickness funds) versus representativeness and a long-term course on the other hand (e. g. with official statistics). Finally, several recommendations are made on how to further improve the informative value and comparability of data, especially among sickness funds.
