N2 - In the dermatology practiced in Germany, healthcare research is an established and highly differentiated discipline. In many university dermatological institutions and private practices, studies are carried out on the processes of healthcare research for skin diseases. Commissioned by the German Society of Dermatology and the Professional Association of German Dermatologists, a significant number of the studies and projects are conducted by the German Center for Health Services Research in Dermatology (CVderm) as a nationwide reference center. Important projects include the implementation of patient registers and national care studies, research with secondary data and carrying out methodological studies for the further development of scientific questions. Important results are the national healthcare conferences for psoriasis, skin cancer, wounds and atopic dermatitis, the regional care networks as well as projects and cooperation with health insurance companies, local government and public institutions. In the interests of improved patient care, important factors of care are continuously improved. Future health services research in dermatology will be able to contribute even more efficiently for better care planning and management. Patient registers will facilitate the transfer of innovations into care and help to ensure that new treatment approaches can be implemented. Registers also support the optimization of therapy approaches, which can no longer be carried out on the basis of clinical studies alone, for example in the case of psoriasis, due to the large number of drugs available. In the era of digital medicine, healthcare research has an even more important function.
