In July, the AOK launches the large-scale STATAMED project, which focuses on the interdisciplinary connection of health care in the inpatient and outpatient areas. Starting in April 2024, the pratical care will begin at six sites in the Rhineland, Hamburg and Lower Saxony. The general medical focus and scientific process support will be provided by the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE – Institut und Poliklinik für Allgemeinmedizin). The Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) and the Hannover Medical School (MHH – Institut für Allgemeinmedizin und Palliativmedizin) are responsible for the evaluation of the project. In addition to the AOK Rheinland/Hamburg and the AOK Niedersachsen, the project consortium includes six hospital sites, three of which are in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg and three in Lower Saxony. The Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in North Rhine, Lower Saxony and Hamburg are also part of the project, which is being funded by the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) with almost eleven million euros over four years.
