Part of the EViPan Unimed joint project of the University Medicine Network
Updated on 18.11.2020
With the OnCOVID II study "Participatory decision-making and ethical aspects of risk stratification and pandemic management", the CCC Hannover is part of the joint project EViPan Unimed of the National Network of University Medicine Network on Covid-19 (NUM). Funding is provided by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The different regional courses of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the regionally different care and decision-making structures in a federal system require regionally suitable pandemic management concepts that should be based on knowledge of national and international excellence and approaches as well as on the available evidence and be scientifically sound.
With this objective in mind, on August 1, 2020, the joint project EViPan Unimed(development, testing and implementation of regionally adaptive care structures and processes for evidence-based pandemic management coordinated by university medicine) under the leadership of the university hospitals in Dresden (Carl Gustav Carus) and Frankfurt (Frankfurt University Hospital). The task of the project is to review and harmonize pandemic management concepts in Germany and internationally, evaluate their practicability using scientific methods and integrate them into a framework plan.
Background and objectives OnCoVID II
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a wide range of changes in general healthcare. The complexity of these changes also requires ethical and medico-legal aspects of medical care to be taken into account. The project to be carried out will investigate the extent to which COVID-19 has led to quantitative and qualitative changes in oncological and psychiatric treatment and which potential conflicts of decisions and values have arisen as a result. To this end, physicians, nurses and patients from oncological and psychiatric treatment centers across Germany will be surveyed using specific questionnaires. Based on these results, a comprehensive assessment of the ethical and medico-legal aspects for oncological and psychiatric patient care during a pandemic will be developed. Recommendations for action for participatory decision-making for future pandemic management will be derived.
National Research Network of University Medicine on COVID-19
The aim of the University Medicine Network is to bring together and evaluate action plans, diagnostic and treatment strategies from as many German university hospitals as possible. This pooling of expertise and resources is intended to create structures and processes in the Clinical Departments that ensure the best possible care for COVID-19 patients.
