Abstract
Needs-based health care planning is a major objective of modern health care systems and has become a major approach in the 1990s in many countries. Despite need can be seen in different ways and is not always objectively measurable, it is not questioned that health care services should be designed to meet the needs of the community based on the community?s morbidity. In order to improve Austrian health care planning we developed a morbidity-based simulation model, the MorbiSimmod, where we combined the protocol of Health Care Needs Assessment with a population- and needs-based policy approach and choose microsimulation as simulation technology. The basic morbidity information is derived from inpatient routine health care data, data from the AT-HIS 2006/2007 plus sociodemographic and socioeconomic data. Together with spatial data we are able to calculate stratified figures of morbidity for in-depth analysis of structural requirements for specific health care services in Austria.
