ABSTRACT
The Onko-Nexus ("Caretaker-Project"), sponsored by the Bavarian Ministry for Health and Nursing, is dedicated to improving the outpatient/hospitalized care interface issue for patients with highly complex malignant diseases requiring inpatient care in a university hospital. A total of 26 patients were recruited during the 3-year period of the project. The patients were managed and supported by 2 "Caretakers" (physician assistants), one from the outpatient unit and one working in the wards. Additionally, the university hospital provided a special consultation hour in an oncological private practice close to patient's home. After completion of the project, 9 patients and the 2 "Caretakers" were interviewed via guided qualitative interviews. The main benefits for the patients were intensive support, avoiding long journeys and the close contact between hospital and private practice. The project had a clear positive effect on the patients' quality of life.
