Motivation for committment in the Academic Society Nursing Economics
The health care system is a market with unique features. Various demands need to be covered by insurances and public subsidies which leads to questions on how to best distribute these. Over- and undersupply are often used as buzzwords, but how over- and undersupply impact resources and health states can ultimately be described, analyzed and adjusted by nurses, this calls for a dedicated economic perspective within the various health care settings.
The AS Nursing Economics is an opportunity for me to establish a proper transversal language and to launch economic debates from an academic nursing perspectives.

Motivation for committment in the Academic Society Nursing Economics
Economic issues have gained relevance in the healthcare sector during the last decades. Nurses in senior positions are increasingly challenged to assume responsibility not only regarding service effectiveness and quality but also about the efficiency of care delivery.

This cooperation and exchange enriches and facilitates my work as a lecturer and researcher at SUPSI.

Again and again it is said: Care is indispensable. But how much should care cost? How is its value measured? Who provides it, who receives it and who pays for it?
These are just a few questions that I would like to discuss and help to develop possible solutions, at least on a small scale.
