The main objectives of INTEGRATE-ATMP are to create standardized care structures and sustainably improve the structure, process, and outcome quality for the economically viable and quality-assured use of ATMPs in Germany. The new form of care includes the phased implementation of structural measures to improve care and ensure the treatment quality of ATMP patients. The key structural measures include the introduction of cross-sectoral, structured treatment plans, an indication-independent ATMP registry, and a telemedicine platform with a potential interface for federal authorities. All these structural measures will be evaluated alongside and the effects on health-related quality of life, patient satisfaction, and healthcare provider satisfaction will be measured in terms of healthcare research.

Use and Deletion of Cookies

Like many other internet services, this website uses so-called “cookies.” These are small text files stored on your computer. They contain specific information about your visit to our website, which is transmitted to us. Cookies are usually set or read automatically with each visit to our website

Important to Know

No personal data that could identify the visitor is stored in the cookies. The information stored in the cookies is kept separate from any other data you may have provided. We do not merge this data with other sources of data. This website uses session cookies and temporary cookies. A “session” refers to an internet session that ends when you close your web browser.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are used to store session data. They store a session ID that allows various requests from your browser to be attributed to a single session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to the website. The lifespan of a session cookie is limited to the session itself. That means once you completely close the browser, the cookie becomes invalid and unusable.

Temporary Cookies

In contrast to session cookies, temporary cookies are stored for up to 6 months. They remain on your computer beyond the current visit unless deleted manually. Temporary cookies also have an expiration date. After this date, the cookies are automatically deleted. We use temporary cookies for statistical purposes, to identify which content of the website is most frequently accessed. This is an important help to continuously improve integrate-atmp.de. No personal reference is made.

Deletion

You can delete cookies set by this website at any time in your browser. Please note that personal settings for using integrate-atmp.de are also stored in the cookies. This means that if you delete these cookies, your settings will be reset, and you may not be able to use all functions of the website.

Heidelberg University Hospital takes all necessary technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. Your data is stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public. In certain cases, your personal data is encrypted during transmission using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This means that communication between your computer and our servers is carried out using a recognized encryption method, provided your browser supports SSL.

When accessing the homepage, usage data is automatically collected. This data is necessary to allow you to use the homepage, maintain system security and stability, improve the homepage’s features and functionalities, and prevent and resolve misuse and malfunctions.
