Scientific research has been discovering appropriate solutions for health problems of individuals and the whole population. Frequently, healthcare services fail to use these solutions properly because their implementation often requires a high degree of expertise. The Center for Scientific Health Care Support GmbH (CSS) offers such expertise.

CSS’s mission is the transfer of scientific knowledge into the practical domain of healthcare. CSS GmbH supports decision makers and healthcare providers by

• compiling scientific evidence to back up decisions,
• providing evidence-based process support,
• offering training sessions for staff of healthcare and nursing facilities,
• conducting applied research and providing expert advice,
• evaluating innovations,
• eveloping products that ease and foster quality management and quality assurance in healthcare enterprises.

CSS GmbH focuses particularly on the introduction, implementation, and use of standardized assessments. CSS GmbH takes on the conceptual work as well as the practical implementation (training, counseling), the evaluation, and the accompanying research.
