: Cancer is one of leading causes of mortality worldwide. According to GLOBOCAN database, 19.3 million new cancer cases and 10 million cancer deaths worldwide were counted in 2020. Thus, there is an absolute necessity for statistical data on cancer incidence and treatments. This is mainly done by cancer registries, which aim at collecting, managing, and analyzing health and demographic data on individuals diagnosed with cancer. As more and more patients make use of integrative oncology to optimize their health and quality of life during and after cancer treatment, it is important to gather clinical registry data of complementary as well as conventional cancer care. The INTREST registry is the first approach that aims to identify predictors of treatment-response in women undergoing individualized, integrative breast cancer treatment. This article reports on the technical realization and representativity of the registry based on 3,341 eligible women and 885 cases included in interim statistical analysis. The analyses show that the INTREST sample of women suffering from breast cancer does not significantly differ from population-based registries and pragmatic trial data of breast cancer patients in Germany with respect to main sociodemographic and clinical cancer data. However, completeness, particularly in tumor classification, currently is a major limitation.

Um die Anspruchshaltung einer flächendeckenden qualitativ hochwertigen Patientenversorgung aufrechtzuerhalten, sollen in Zukunft vermehrt telemedizinische Verfahren eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise in der Betreuung stationärer Pflegeeinrichtungen. Auch der Kontakt zwischen Arzt und Patient kann mithilfe der elektronischen Visite realisiert werden. Mit Hilfe regionaler Pilotprojekte sind genaue Konzepte für die Durchführung elektronischer Visiten auszuarbeiten. Durch den vermehrten, professionellen Einsatz der neuen Technologien im Bereich der Pflege soll eine effizientere und schnellere Versorgung erreicht werden. Hemmungen aus Sicht des Anwenders können durch realistische Bewertungen der elektronischen Visiten minimiert werden. Die Patientensicherheit aber muss trotz der gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen bestehen bleiben.

Results of summative examinations represent most often only a snapshot of the knowledge of students over a part of the curriculum and do not provide valid information on whether a long-term retention of knowledge and knowledge growth takes place during the course of studies. Progress testing allows the repeated formative assessment of students' functional knowledge and consists of questions covering all domains of relevant knowledge from a given curriculum. This article describes the development and structure of an online platform for progress testing in psychology at the Witten/Herdecke University. The Progress Test Psychology (PTP) was developed in 2015 in the Department of Psychology and Psychotherapy at Witten/Herdecke University and consists of 100 confidence-weighted true-/false-items (sure / unsure / don't know). The Online-System for implementation of the PTP was developed based on XAMPP including an Apache Server, a MySQL-Database, PHP and JavaScript. First results of a longitudinal survey show the increase in student's knowledge in the course of studies also reliably reflects the course of the curriculum. Thus, content validity of the PTP could be confirmed. Apart from directly measuring the long-term retention of knowledge the use of the PTP in the admission of students applying for a Master's program is discussed.
