GEPASA in a nutshell
Health and continuous, local healthcare provision are proven to be prerequisites for a perceived high quality of life. It is therefore crucial for healthcare planning and for regional development in Saxony on the whole to gain the best possible knowledge of the perception of healthcare provision among the population, as well as their wishes and requirements regarding the healthcare system. However, neither of those factors is currently being systematically recorded and therefore not taken into account in healthcare planning. Researchers at the Center for Evidence-Based Health Care in Dresden and Chemnitz would like to change this. As part of a large-scale, regularly conducted survey (a so-called panel), we aim to interview a representative sample of citizens at regular intervals on the following topics:
- perceived health status
- perceived burden of disease, especially from chronic diseases
- perceived quality of healthcare and expectations towards it
The project GEPASA is coordinated by the branch office of the Center for Evidence-based Healthcare (ZEGV) at the Chemnitz Medical Campus of TU Dresden.
