NeTKoH – Neurological telephone consultation with GPs to strengthen specialist care in Western Pomerania ("Neurologisches TeleKonsil mit Hausärzten zur Stärkung der fachärztlichen Versorgung in Vorpommern")
In order to improve the timely care of patients with neurological diseases in the outpatient sector in Western Pomerania, a telemedical network is being established in the region between GP practices and the Department of Neurology at the university hospital of Greifswald. Patients with neurological diseases present themselves virtually to the Neurology department directly from their GP consultation. For this purpose, the Greifswald Neurology Clinic offers an immediately accessible specialist consultation during regular consultation hours. This way, the on-site care of patients in the GP practices is strengthened and thus regional care is facilitated.
Collaborative Project TARISMA: Predicting care pathways in adults with back pain
Project lead: Prof. Dr. Carsten Oliver Schmidt
Project researchers: Prof. Dr. Jean-Francois Chenot, Dr. Elisa Kasbohm, Dr. Julia Truthmann
The overall aim of the TARISMA network (Targeted Risk Management in Musculoskeletal Diseases) is to identify risk factors for inadequate care of people with inflammatory and non-inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases and to develop approaches for better care of specific risk groups. The common research question is what influence vulnerable life phases or multimorbidity have on the course of care and the utilisation of care services, and how any possible resultant underuse can be countered.
