The health scientist Dr. Verena Vogt has held the professorship for quantitative health services research at the University Hospital Jena since June.
Health services research is about the interdisciplinary investigation of processes and structures in the healthcare system. Specifically, the question is asked when patients go to which doctor's office with which complaints and what examinations or treatments they receive there. Research is also being carried out into where the patients are subsequently referred, what success this care has and what it costs. The central basis for answering these questions is routinely collected data, including that from health insurance companies. Prof. Dr. Verena Vogt uses statistical and data science methods to use this routine data to analyze everyday care, especially in the outpatient sector.
