[Exploratory evaluation of a model project for the structured delivery system in Saxony-Anhalt in the year 2001].
A model project for a structured health delivery system for type-2 diabetes was scrutinized regarding levels of awareness, motivation, expectations, and acceptance among the participating target groups by using psychological exploratory in-depth-interviews. Patients experience a positive increase of regularity in their treatment, but overall the project remains unclear to them. General practitioners experience a positive image change, increased clarity, and reduced workload. These advantages help them to tolerate the inherent burden of documentation. Expectations regarding treatment quality are generally met, however expectations regarding the formal organization of the project remain often unmet. Physicians with special expertise often develop very high expectations, but these are not always fulfilled. One successful aspect of the project is the adequate handling of existing psychological treatment problems (and corresponding needs), which results in good acceptance and motivation to participation.
