11th MVF Conference (Part 1): “Prioritization Catalogue for Health Services Research”

21.12.2022 11:27

The “Prioritization Catalog for Health Services Research”, which is to be agreed upon jointly, is intended to show the most important topics that health services research has to develop in order to improve our health system in the long term. Due to a wide range of feedback - high workload, date shortly before the Christmas holidays - we have decided to hold an online congress in two parts instead of a face-to-face event. Part 1 took place on the morning of December 13th, 2022, part 2 takes place on the morning of January 24th, 2023.

The specialist journal “Monitor Health Services Research”, which has seen itself as a link between science and practice for 14 years, held the first part of its online congress on the topic of “Prioritization Catalog of Health Services Research” on December 13, 2022 in cooperation with the IGES Institute.

Who is the event aimed at?

Self-help / patient associations
Health insurance (GKV / PKV)
Institutions of self-government
Patient representatives
Doctors and pharmacists
Health Professions
Supply manager
Federal and state politics
Pharmaceutical and medical technology companies
Service providers and consultants

Greetings from the editor

Ladies and Gentlemen
Dear Colleagues,

“Let’s be honest: Such “small-small” research approaches really don’t move our health system forward!” said Prof. Josef Hecken, the impartial chairman of the Federal Joint Committee, who is also chairman of the Innovation Committee, in the cover interview of the last MVF- Output.

He also says that the healthcare researchers would make things “too easy” for themselves if they submitted funding applications to the Innovation Fund. He misses the “big hit” in the applications based on health services research approaches that “would really catapult us forward” (1). A sad realization. Such a sharp statement must wake us up!

Ultimately, the main purpose of health services research is to help improve the care of people and the health system in Germany. We are therefore dedicating our online congress with our cooperation partner, the Berlin IGES Institute, to the topic of “Health Services Research Prioritization Catalog”.
We ask high-ranking representatives of our health system - including Prof. Hecken - what they believe are the 5 to 10 most pressing and important questions that health care research has to answer in order to really advance our health system and make it more sustainable and resilient. Where are the blind spots? What good approaches and answers are there already? And where is knowledge still lacking the most? What is the best way for health services research to progress?

And: We ask you! Take an active part in our 11th specialist congress. Bring your perspective and your position and join in the discussion.

Due to a wide range of feedback - high workload, date shortly before the Christmas holidays - the congress is taking place online. The congress will be chaired with me by Dr. Eberhard Thombansen, Vivantes Berlin.

With kind regards
Your professor Dr. Reinhold Roski
Publisher “Monitor Health Services Research”
