Springer Gabler Wiesbaden Verlag has published a new book entitled "Kosten der hubschraubergestützten Notfallversorgung".
This book develops a model for evaluating air rescue services in order to analyse conflicting objectives in the design of the air rescue system in Germany.
Helicopter-based emergency medical services have been playing an increasingly important role in emergency medical care for years. As a conspicuous and efficient, but also expensive means of rescue, air rescue is subject to an extremely large amount of demands from a wide variety of interest groups. These individual interests are linked to dilemmas in the organisation of the air rescue system.
The cost model is used to calculate various scenarios based on an exemplary empirical object. The book investigates the status quo, criticisms of the German air rescue system and various innovations arising from a comparison of selected international air rescue systems.
The book was written by Johann Röper. He was awarded the 2022 Doctoral Prize [de] for his thesis.
Johann Röper completed his doctorate at the University of Greifswald at the Chair of General Business Administration and Health Care Management (Prof. Steffen Fleßa) as an external doctoral candidate.
Johann Röper was supported with a scholarship from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Graduate Funding Programme. This is awarded to particularly highly qualified young academics.
