- Abstract
General practitioners seek to be the key players in preventing chronic illness. The overall social costs of this have been hard to gauge because GP practices, in terms of organization and cost-effectiveness, are not yet capable of carrying out comprehensive prevention programmes. However, prevention activities in practice communities under the Swiss Contribution Healthcare Development Model Program have allowed the authors to study the actual costs of such preventive and related health-promotion activities in detail. A complete cost analysis was made of the practice communities, according to cost and cost drivers and cost-effectiveness. It was found that the average operating costs of the practice community cover the costs of the patient health check-ups there and for the whole population.
