Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can explain the similarities and differences between the objectives, basic principles and decision-making contexts of evidence-based medicine/nursing versus evidence-based healthcare (EbHC).
• Understanding of knowledge: Students can explain the common basic principles of evidence-based medicine and nursing and critically reflect on the differences in practical implementation. This implies in particular the requirements of evidence-based patient/health information and shared decision-making.
• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can explain the significance of other social law regulations for health and nursing care and name and categorise the corresponding normative sources: e.g. SGB VII (statutory accident insurance), SGB IX (rehabilitation and participation of disabled people, pension insurance), Occupational Diseases Ordinance (BKV), Patients' Rights Act, Transplantation Act.
• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can explain important concepts, theories and models of population, social and occupational medicine, public health and rehabilitation and differentiate between them.
• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can explain important legal and economic principles and implications of the independent and autonomous exercise of medical tasks in nursing care in accordance with Annex 5 Part B PflAPrV (liability and criminal law, benefit and budget law in accordance with SGB V and SGB XI and consecutive guidelines, statutes and agreements of the self-governing partners, especially with regard to the prescription of medical devices, (nursing-relevant) aids, remedies, home nursing/outpatient care, DiGAs and DiPAs and other digital support systems. They can explain the key legal requirements for the evaluation and use of medical devices (including digital technologies).

They can research and critically evaluate suitable knowledge resources and instruments and draw conclusions for application in practice.
• Utilisation and transfer: Students can name possible forms of rehabilitation services and possible funding bodies as well as other sources of information depending on the type of illness/health disorder and life situation. They can recommend individually suitable further counselling services.
• Scientific self-conception/professional understanding: Students are able to critically reflect on the opportunities, challenges and risks of integrating extended curative tasks into the independent, autonomous planning and implementation of the nursing process from a professional, ethical and legal perspective, and are aware of the need for evidence-based decisions in the performance of these tasks.
