Work package
Case conference
Focus on networking and social medicine
The preliminary work for the No1Lost project has shown that exchange in networks is of crucial importance for successful tuberculosis treatment. Fortunately, tuberculosis has become rare in Germany, which is why sufficient experience in dealing with complex cases can only be gained in specialized treatment centers. At the same time, the complex management of tuberculosis therapy requires an interdisciplinary team that brings in expertise from different areas. This requires more than just medical expertise from different disciplines. Socio-medical challenges and needs are often at the forefront and represent a significant barrier to regular medication adherence.
The case conference of the No1Lost competence network is intended to create the opportunity to discuss individual cases of tuberculosis in a structured setting that focuses on social medicine. An interdisciplinary team of experts will be available for this purpose, who, in addition to guideline-compliant therapy, also have extensive experience in providing individual support and therapy support for people with tuberculosis.
The service is aimed in particular at cases where the local treatment environment and available structures have reached their limits and treatment discontinuation is considered likely. For these challenging cases, the case conference will be available nationwide in order to support as many people with tuberculosis as possible to successfully complete treatment, in line with the project motto No1Lost.
