                                  Genetic Testing in the Context of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Management

                                  Molecular genetic diagnostics (GDx) is an increasingly important tool in the so-called "precision medicine" and personalised health care, including organised screening programs. For a structured and controlled implementation of GDx, organisational-regulatory and ethical aspects, as well as far-reaching economic effects have to be considered in addition to efficacy and safety concerns.

                                  The aim of the present report was to illustrate the general complexity of such (predictive) diagnostic tests and systematic test strategies using the example of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

                                  Effectiveness of Music Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dementia, Depression, Insomnia and Schizophrenia

                                  In Vienna, in 1958, for the very first time in Europe, the institutionalisation process started with founding the Austrian Society for the Promotion of Music Medical Science. One year later, the first training course in Europe was established. Today, music therapy is understood as an expression promoting, scientific-artistic-creative and independent form of treatment using active and receptive music therapeutic methods. In an update of Cochrane Reviews, the effectiveness and applied methods of music therapy in autism, dementia, depression, sleep disorder and schizophrenia were examined. The results suggest that music therapy can help patients in terms of physical and psychosocial aspects.

                                  Framework for reimbursement decisions of digital health technologies (mHealth) and its (retrospective) application on selected examples

                                  Digital health applications have the potential to improve disease monitoring and management. For the majority of available digital health applications, however, there is little evidence of (medical, organizational or economic) benefit. The thorough evaluation of a digital health application requires additional technology-specific domains. Decision-makers are thus faced with new challenges in the evaluation of these applications.

                                  The aim of this report was to provide guidance to funding institutions and manufacturers as to what evidence is expected for which type of digital health application. For this purpose, the applicability of currently available assessment frameworks for digital health applications was examined.

                                  Covid-19: HSS/ Horizon Scanning Living Document (v08 November 2020)

                                  The establishment of a HSS/ Horizon Scanning System for Covid19 interventions has the intentions of informing health policy makers at an early stage which interventions (vaccinations and drugs) are currently undergoing clinical trials and to monitor them over the next few months in order to support evidence-based purchasing if necessary. The products are monitored with regard to the status of the clinical studies up to approval and finally evaluated for their benefit and harm.

                                  All work steps are conducted in close international (European) cooperation.

                                  Home-Treatment in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: An Analysis of the Effectiveness and Possible Implementation in Austria

                                  The Austrian child and adolescent psychiatric care landscape is characterised by substantial deficits on the intramural, as well as, on the extramural level. To overcome these supply shortfalls alternative outreach approaches, such as home-treatment, can be introduced to facilitate the reduction of hospitalisations. In this context, the present report aimed to systematically characterise international home-treatment-models considering their effectiveness and safety in the area of child and adolescent psychiatry. In addition, the fundamental challenges of implementing such treatment approaches were examined, taking into account the current Austrian care situation.
