Background Digitalization is steadily advancing on a global scale, exerting profound influence health care systems. To facilitate acceptance of the digital transformation, guiding principles emphasize need for structures to be person-centered and promote high-quality care. This paper examines implementation challenges within German system, with particular focus how change initiatives engage existing infrastructures organizational modes delivery. approach provides framework analyzing...
Organizing healthcare becomes ever more complex for people with chronic conditions. Additionally, a distinct separation of inpatient and outpatient care makes it even difficult to provide coordinated continuous across sectors in Germany. Our interview study aimed identify difficulties unmet needs along the continuum patients lung cancer stroke Data were collected by qualitative interviews. A total 40 participants (n=20) interviewed metropolitan region Berlin, interpreted through thematic...
Synaptic inhibition in the olfactory bulb (OB), first relay station of information, is believed to be important for odour discrimination. We interfered with GABAergic mitral and tufted cells (M/T cells), principal neurons OB, by disrupting their potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (Kcc2). Roughly, 70% mice died around 3 weeks, but surviving appeared normal. In these mice, resulting increase intracellular Cl(-) concentration nearly abolished GABA-induced hyperpolarization (MCs) unexpectedly...
Abstract Background The concept of patient navigation was first established in the USA to support vulnerable groups receiving timely and comprehensive access cancer care. It has recently gained increasing interest Germany patients with chronic diseases a fragmented healthcare system. aim this paper is present development such model adapted German context based on results mixed-methods studies investigating need for barriers patient-oriented Methods In process from Delphi rounds, we conducted...
Patient navigation programmes were introduced in the United States and recently gained interest Germany, where health care system is fragmented. Navigation aim to decrease barriers for patients with age-associated diseases complex paths. Here we describe a feasibility study evaluate patient-oriented model that was developed first project phase by integrating data about care, vulnerable patient populations existing support services.We designed mixed-methods consists of two two-arm randomized...
The aim of the present study was to investigate awareness patient navigation (PN) in general population Germany and assess which navigator tasks are considered most important. analysis drew on a 2019 nationwide telephone survey 6110 adults. We compared rankings emotional support, administrative support information among respondents with without experience navigation. One-fifth sample reported having heard PNs; 13% this group already had PN. In both groups, majority (>47%) assistance...
This qualitative study investigated patients' needs and wishes in relation to patient navigation.
Identifying predictors of subjective unmet need for assistance with activities daily living (ADL) is necessary to allocate resources in social care effectively the most vulnerable populations. In this study, we aimed at identifying population groups risk ADL and instrumental (IADL) taking complex interaction patterns between multiple into account.We included participants aged 55 or older from cross-sectional German Health Update Study (GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS). Subjective was defined as needing...
The aim of this study was to investigate available offers support for stroke and lung cancer patients their caregivers in the Berlin region besides direct medical or therapeutic care identify barriers use from perspective experts.A structured search different sources, including an internet search, print information as well interviews with experts a group discussion, conducted on services managing altered health life situation. Target groups identified were verified further gathered by...

Objectives Several patient factors have been described to influence access optimal cancer care like socioeconomic or place of residence. In this study, we investigate whether data routinely collected in a clinical registry can be used identify populations lung patients with increased risk not receiving care. Methods We analysed 837 extracted from the German university hospital. compared by two indicators care, namely implementation tumour board meeting recommendations as well timeliness...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Lungenkrebsbetroffene sind besonders stark durch psychischen Stress belastet. Gleichzeitig die Inanspruchnahmeraten von psychoonkologischer Unterstützung relativ gering. Es ist wenig über Gründe der (Nicht‑)Inanspruchnahme bekannt. Fragestellung Welche emotionalen Herausforderungen erleben Menschen mit Lungenkrebs? Was ihre für Unterstützung? Material und Methode wurden qualitative Interviews 20 Lungenkrebsbetroffenen ausgewertet, im Rahmen CoreNAVI-Studie...
Abstract Background In 2017 NAVICARE was established as a Berlin/Brandenburg-based network for patient-oriented health services research. The overall aim is to reduce barriers patients with age-associated diseases and multimorbidity in the fragmented German care system. networks structural goal develop research environment which scientifically developed regional interventions better coordinated are piloted. Methods During two funding periods, an overarching infrastructure built connect...
Einleitung Chronische Erkrankungen bedeuten für Betroffene oft erhöhten Bedarf an Informationen zur Erkrankung und Versorgung. In einer Machbarkeitsstudie unterstützen Navigator*innen als konstante Ansprechpersonen Patient*innen mit Lungenkrebs Schlaganfall in der persönlichen Organisation ihrer Versorgung, auch durch Informationsvermittlung.
e18033 Background: Patient navigation is seen to support and enable patient-oriented, optimal care both in palliative screening settings. However, the evidence remains inconclusive on what patient groups are best targeted by may be improved such a model. Lung cancer patients at particular risk for sub-optimal because they face complex trajectories due severe rapid disease progression accompanying comorbidity. Methods: To develop model lung cancer, we conducted mixed-methods study investigate...
