NAVICARE

NAVICARE - Health Services Research Network

NAVICARE is a regional network for patient-oriented health services research in Berlin and the region of Brandenburg and is coordinated at the Institute of Public Health at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.

The NAVICARE Network

Our aim is to reduce barriers and inequalities in the health care of patients with age-associated diseases. Therefore, we are building structures for research collaborations between research institutions, clinics, communal health services and stakeholders as well as for the promotion of junior scientists. As an important milestone, we initiated the establishment of the Platform – Charité Health Services Research together with the EMANet network in 2019.

Scientific Projects

NAVICARE integrates two central scientific projects: CoreNAVI (development and evaluation of a patient-oriented navigation model for patients with lung cancer and stroke) and COMPASS (intervention for the promotion of a cooperation between general practitioners and community care points aiming at better health care for multi-morbid patients).

Additionally, we use an annual population-representative survey to assess the population’s knowledge, preferences and use of ambulant health care services.

The NAVICARE Network

The NAVICARE network involves content and methodical expertise of different project partners, including stakeholders and patient advocates. In addition to research and network building, we want to advance education in health services research and promote junior scientists.
