The Central Institute for Statutory Health Care (Zi) is now announcing the Zi Science Prize for regional health care research for the twelfth time. The prize recognizes outstanding scientific work researching regional differences in health care. The prize is worth a total of 7,500 euros and the application deadline is September 15, 2023.
“Our care atlas, with its regionally differentiated presentation of the results from outpatient care research, can give those involved in the health care system and politics concrete information about where there is a need for action,” said Zi board chairman Dr. Dominik von Stillfried clearly. The small-scale reference in particular often leads to new insights. Medical treatment is influenced by many factors that are often not noticed in everyday life: “It is only through regional comparison that it becomes clear which care results can be achieved under the legal framework. For example, regions with particularly good results can become a model for care in other, particularly structurally weak areas,” continued von Stillfried.
The Zi invites researchers to submit scientific papers in the field of researching regional differences in medical care. This explicitly includes work that deals with the implementation of measures that can improve medical care and that result from the results of regionalized health care research.
The deadline for entries is September 15, 2023, and the award ceremony is planned for the end of 2023. Award-winning works will be published on the web portal www.sorgeatlas.de published.
