title: [Classification of social medical products provided by the German Medical Services of the Statutory Health Insurance in Hessen].
abstract: Based on agreements presented by a task force the German Medical Services of the Statutory Health Insurance in Hessen developed its own classification of social medical assignments. According to economic systematics they were arranged in groups of external and internal products reflecting providing services in form of medical expertises and fulfilment of legal obligations. Further typologisation of the products can be achieved by relational marks. Documentation based on this classification as a part of social medical controlling supports modern planning and management concepts. This way practical sociomedicine as an applied health science makes its contribution to economic efficiency of the statutory health care system.
