The following topics are available:

  • Care services and technologies
  • Telemedicine and digitalisation
  • Regional forms of care
  • Prevention
  • Rehabilitation and curative education
  • Regional forms of care

TRACK 3: HEALTH SERVICE RESEARCH 4.0

In this track, the health services research of the future will have its say. New designs, methods of data collection, innovative analysis of known data, new data formats, etc., but also possibilities, opportunities and challenges of patient involvement will be presented and developed.

The following topics are available:

  • Field/Data Access/ Register
  • Data use/data protection/ethics
  • Research, data and knowledge management
  • Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning
  • Participatory research
  • Application of theories in health services research
  • Science communication
  • Interdisciplinarity
  • Living Guidelines and Living Reviews
  • International networking
  • and other topics
TRACK 4: COVID-19 AND MIXED BAG

This track is dedicated to the topic of Covid-19 and is at the same time open to topics "in between" and "do not fit in" with the other tracks. The whole breadth of our subject is shown here, as well as the immediately and not-so-immediately adjacent fields of science. For this very reason, it is important, innovative, creative and stimulating for all who are interested in health services research.

The following topics are available:

  • COVID-19 and Long-Covid
  • Structures and networks
  • Demand planning and management
  • Patient Reported Outcomes
  • Organisational Development and Work Force
  • Public Health Service and Public Health
  • New results from the DNVF working and expert groups
  • Open topics
SCIENCE SLAM

The Science Slam format is aimed specifically at scientists in the field of health services research who would like to present their research in a different format. In a separate session, the participants have time to present their own scientific work and to convince the audience with any props. The audience will form the jury, which will select the winners at the end of the session.

Prizes await the three best slammers. Work in progress can be submitted (even if there are no results yet) or work that has already been completed. The criteria mentioned in the guidelines for abstracts also apply to submissions for the Science Slam.

Conference Scholarships for young Researchers

The DNVF is awarding three congress bursaries to young scientists, which include free entry to the entire congress. Undergraduate and postgraduate students who submit an abstract can apply for the scholarship until 7 July, 2022. In addition to the abstract, a curriculum vitae and a cover letter outlining the reasons for attending the conference must be submitted as a PDF (to the conference agency KUKM (dkvf@kukm.de)). The conference scholarships will be awarded based on the abstract evaluations by the reviewers as well as the motivation letter and the CV.
