The German Network of Health Services Research conference will take place online this autumn. The theme will be 'Access, Quality and Efficiency: Comparing countries' health care system performance for improved health services'. It will focus on 'Health Systems Performance Assessment', and how different health care systems or their building blocks can contribute to improving access, quality, population health outcomes and efficiency, and how countries can learn from each other and their experiences in improving the health care delivery system.
At this year’s conference, for the first time there will be a series of sessions with oral presentations with exclusively English-language contributions. International researchers in the field of health services research, and in particular young scholars, are invited to present their work and exchange with German and international colleagues. Abstracts can be submitted on a variety of topics ranging from performance assessment, digitalisation in health care to quality and patient safety.
