Development of an interprofessional person-centred care concept for persons with care needs living in their own homes ( HOME): study protocol for a mixed-methods study.

Introduction: People receiving home care usually have complex healthcare needs requiring the involvement of informal caregivers and various health professionals. In this context, successful collaboration is an important element of person-centred care, which is often insufficiently implemented. Consequences might be found in avoidable hospitalisations.

Legal advice and care-effective use of care and case management: limits, risks and need for change (funded by the innovation Fund of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) according to §§ 92a and 92b of the fifth book of the German social code (SGB V). Funding code 01NVF17029 (RubiN) regional uninterrupted in the network).

Introduction: An important dimension of care and case managers is to support geriatric patients in obtaining social services in medical, nursing, therapeutic and social fields. To this, they advise and represent their patients.

Methods: The documentation of patient contacts with case managers of a network of physicians was evaluated.

Regional differences in reasons for consultation and general practitioners' spectrum of services in northern Germany - results of a cross-sectional observational study.

Background: Among other factors, the patients' consultation reasons and GPs' spectrum of services determine the process and outcome of the medical treatment. So far, however, there has been little information on differences in reasons for consultation and GPs' services between urban and rural areas. Our study's goal was thus to investigate these factors in relation to the regional location of GPs' practices.

Response analysis of holography-based modal wavefront sensor.

The crosstalk problem of holography-based modal wavefront sensing (HMWS) becomes more severe with increasing aberration. In this paper, crosstalk effects on the sensor response are analyzed statistically for typical aberrations due to atmospheric turbulence. For specific turbulence strength, we optimized the sensor by adjusting the detector radius and the encoded phase bias for each Zernike mode.
