Abstract:
Over the past decades, improvements in healthcare resulted in longer life expectancies and growing demand for specialized long-term care services for the elderly. Detailed up-to-date indicators describing the demographic status quo in order to enable adequate planning to meet the requirements of this population are missing. Today, these data are either scattered across different sources or only available in highly aggregated form. In the given paper, we share details about our interactive data exploration tool, which incorporates routine data from a large German health insurance to derive specific elderly care indicators, while ensuring scalability, data actuality and separation of data and visualization. Thus, governmental experts can access up-to-date data for elderly care planning in a structured and harmonized way.
