IMPLEMENT - Model Project for Quality-assured Exercise Therapy for Cancer Patients

IMPLEMENT aims to develop, test and establish a sustainable access structure for quality-assured oncological exercise therapy (qOET) in Germany as a model within the funding period of three years. This will be done in three phases: Phase 1: In the first step, a characterization of the existing implementation structures and the existing barriers and needs as well as the establishment of the cooperation with the most important actors in the care system will take place. Phase 2: In the subsequent implementation process, concrete measures are practically implemented in subprojects for specific target groups (children/adolescents, adults) and specific regions (rural, urban) as well as the digital solutions and interface management. With the help of a mixed-methods design, the barriers and facilitating factors of the implementation of area-wide qSBT will be investigated during the project and fed into a "learning system" for adaptation and improvement. Phase 3: The success of the measures to increase patient participation in qOET and the development of the structures as well as the barrier and facilitating factors for an effective implementation will be addressed in a before-after comparison through evaluation steps and an economic accompanying evaluation will be carried out.
