The G-BA Innovation Committee recommends transfer to standard care for another three projects in Germany

On December 15, 2023, the Innovation Committee at the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) published the decisions recommending the transfer to standard care for another three completed projects. Two projects evaluated the decision support tools for the BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. The third project analyzed the healthcare provided for patients with congenital heart defects.

The project “EDCP-BRCA - Evaluation of a decision coaching program for decision support in the context of prevention for BRCA1/2 mutation carriers” offered structured, modular, and needs-adapted coaching to support BRCA1/2 mutation carriers to decide between currently existing breast and ovarian cancer preventive options. Despite the limitations of the project, the Innovation Committee believes the results can improve care for women with familial cancer.

Within the project “iKNOW – Development and evaluation of an online-supported counseling tool for BRCA1/2 mutation carriers”, the guideline-based online consultation tool, iKNOW, was developed. iKNOW is aimed to support BRCA1/2 mutation carriers to assess their individual breast cancer risk.

The “OptAHF – optimizing care for children and adults with congenital heart defects” project was aimed at studying a data mix to map the reality of healthcare for patients with congenital heart defects, to highlight the identified problems, and to propose the needed actions in this regard.
