German Health Services Research Network (DNVF)
The non-profit association “German Network for Healthcare Research eV” (DNVF) was founded on May 2, 2006 in Berlin by 26 specialist societies, all members of the Standing Congress Commission of the “German Congress for Healthcare Research” (DKVF). The DNVF is an interdisciplinary network that is open to all institutions, working groups and scientists who are involved in improving health and health care from scientific, practical or health policy perspectives. The aim of the DNVF is to network healthcare research in the healthcare sector, to bring together science and healthcare practice and to promote healthcare research as a whole. The formation of interdisciplinary working groups on interdisciplinary topics in health services research and the implementation of new, better care is just as central a task as promoting young scientists. Since issue 01/2014, a special section has been published in every issue by the German Network for Healthcare Research (DNVF). The network itself is solely responsible for the content published here.
