Projects
The research of the Institute for Health Services Research and Clinical Epidemiology (IVE) at the Philipps-University of Marburg focusses the following main topics:
- Health services research with a focus on the assessment and analysis of the quality of health care
- Evaluation research / health policy analysis: evaluation of the implementation of new health policy measures and types of health care settings
- Method development for quality measurement and quality assessment of health care (focus: metrics/quality indicator development)
Current and recently completed research projects
ParkProReakt - Proactive instead of reactive symptom recognition in patients with Parkinson
The project aims to use a digital platform to proactively detect symptom changes in patients with Parkinson at an early stage, to provide patients with strategies for action, and thus to have a positive influence on the course of the disease and the quality of life. The IVE is responsible for the independent evaluation of the project, led by the Department of Neurology of the Philipps University (Sponsor: Innovation Fund/G-BA 01NVF20019).
Evaluation of the quality of care in routine outpatient care of common diseases of childhood and adolescence (QualiPäd)
A cooperation project with the University of Ulm (PI). In the project, the quality of outpatient care for seven common somatic and mental diseases of childhood and adolescence is evaluated on the base of newly consented quality indicators, for which data are collected in medical practices (Sponsor: Innovation Fund/G-BA; 01VSF19035).
Quality management and clinical risk management (QuaRiPan 2)
Work package 4 in the PREPARED project (PREparedness and PAndemic REesponse in Germany), a continuation of the egePan project. The projects are funded within the “University Medicine Network” by the BMBF. The aim of the project is to develop a core data set capturing quality restrictions and risks in patient care in the context of pandemics. Based on this, an early warning and benchmarking concept will be created. Furthermore, three reference centers for quality and risk management as well as a national expert network for quality and safety of patient care will be established (Sponsor: BMBF).
Hospital-specific prognoses, evaluation of the minimum volume regulation over the time of 2016 to 2021 and modeling of cooperation regions (PEMKOR)
In this project, the implementation of minimum volumes and hospital-specific prognoses are evaluated and cooperation regions are modeled (Sponsor: Innovation Fund/G-BA; VSF2_2020-121)
Personnel requirements of long-term care institutions in the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf
Analyses on behalf of the regional public health department (Sponsor: Public Health Department MR-Bi)
Personnel requirements in the Hessian health care system
Cooperation project with the University of Applied Sciences Fulda (Prof. Greß), preparing a forecast of the personnel requirements in Hesse up to the year 2030 for various health care professions (Sponsor: HMWK)
Results of quality-assured stroke care: Hesse compared to the rest of Germany (QUASCH)
Analysis of the effectiveness of external quality assurance using the example of stroke care (Sponsor: Innovation Fund/ G-BA; 01VSF18041)
Integrative Psychiatry Hamm (IPH)
Controlled prospective intervention study to evaluate an integrated care approach of a model hospital under total budget in comparison to a conventionally remunerated psychiatric clinic (Sponsored by the Landeszentrum Gesundheit NRW)
