Our expertise and innovations
We are enthusiastic about creative and innovative concepts that make our employees' daily work easier.
Find out more about our innovations, because we work every day to put them into practice.
The future of nursing needs new, imaginative approaches. We are therefore relying on a new management structure in various specialist areas and sharing the expertise of our ward managers:
The tasks of nursing management include
- Responsibility for the management of nursing staff based on the jointly defined objectives of the department
- Coordination of all activities for employee retention, recruitment & development
- Ensuring and further developing nursing care for patients
- Promoting cross-departmental cooperation
Together with the nursing pedagogical and nursing management, the nursing management represents a management competence team that is responsible for a defined area.
The tasks of the nursing education manager include
- Responsibility for training and further education of the associated nursing team
- Personnel development specifically for individual nursing staff
- Development of new concepts (e.g. induction)
- Ensuring the implementation of these and the achievement of the defined goals
Together with the nursing management, they also act as deputies for the nursing management.
The tasks of the nursing management include
- Responsibility for documentation, key figures and standards
- Identification of (individual) training and further education requirements and support with training courses
- Implementation of new (scientific) findings
- Management of complex cases
Together with the nursing education manager, they also act as deputies for the nursing manager.
This takes into account the extensive requirements in management, in the further development of nursing expertise and in the instruction of trainees and new employees.
Accompanying and supporting trainees is in the blood of our main practice instructors - they particularly enjoy working with our colleagues of tomorrow!
Some of our colleagues explain why they became practice supervisors in this video.
Insights into the tasks of our main practice instructors:
- Ensuring and further developing clinical instruction in coordination with the responsible nursing education managers, the Academy for Medical Professions and the practice instructors on the wards and functional units
- Initiating continuous improvement processes, including on the basis of the standardized evaluation of practical assignments CLES+T (Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher)
- Testing and evaluating new teaching and learning methods as part of projects
- Coaching of practical instructors in defined settings
- Creative design of practical lessons
- Co-designing the practical instructor conferences
- Collaboration on cross-departmental and cross-clinic concepts
In nursing, we can look back on a long tradition of nursing development and Advanced Nursing Practice. Innovation, further development and high-performance nursing in partnership with the high-performance medicine of a university hospital are among our trademarks.
Insights into the tasks of our APN nursing experts:
- they deal with the trends and latest scientific findings in the therapy and care of patients and shape nursing development; best practice in nursing is their goal
- they work strategically and in terms of content on nursing and multi-professional guidelines and standards
- support and accompany nurses and teams with the aim of improving patient outcomes
- you will lead project groups and conduct training courses
- in an interprofessional context, you will act as a representative of nursing care
Our teams are unique, great!
The diverse qualifications and specializations of our employees make us so special, because our multi-professional team includes not only registered nurses, but also bachelor's and master's graduates in nursing, midwives as well as service assistants, e.g. hotel staff, care assistants and secretaries on the wards.
Nursing is a central cornerstone of patient care. In order to be able to carry out its tasks, continuous quality assurance and targeted development are required. Our Clinical Nursing Science, Quality and Development staff unit is therefore responsible for the following tasks:
- Developing and supporting quality and development projects such as Advanced Nursing Practice
- Implementation of nursing research projects
- Bundling nursing and nursing science activities
- Managing the conference of nursing experts

The nursing care we provide to patients is developing in the context of high-performance university medicine and is subject to daily challenges in line with complex medical treatments. We meet these challenges with consistent patient orientation and quality of care. Our top priority is to constantly improve the care we provide to our patients. This requires continuous process analysis and adaptation, defined quality indicators and automated reporting.
The tasks of our controlling department include
- Analyzing nursing patient care processes and recording their quality using existing and/or self-developed quality indicators
- Analyzing and conducting nursing audits and deriving appropriate improvement measures
- Initiating and managing quality development projects in nursing care
- Initiating and participating in studies to improve the quality of care
The training project was initiated at the Center for Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine under the motto "Overcoming boundaries - learning and working together". From admission to anamnesis and morning rounds through to discharge management - the junior staff on the training ward organize all tasks as a team across all professions and learn early on how to work together responsibly. A team of experienced doctors and nurses is always on hand to ensure that everything is done correctly
Since January 2018, innovative technologies for care have been tested in our Care Practice Center (PPZ). Under the direction of Sven Ziegler, technical aids are tested and checked for their functionality in practice.
The aim of the project is to relieve the burden on carers and to further develop needs-based care for patients.
- an integrated bed sensor system that prevents patients from lying down or falling
- Aids to reduce noise in intensive care units
- technical aids that help patients suffering from dementia to find their way through everyday hospital life
We enable our employees, trainees and students to systematically develop their skills in the use of hospital technologies.
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the project with four million euros until the end of 2022. The project partners are Furtwangen University, the Institute of Nursing Science at the University of Freiburg and the Research and Innovation Network of the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Freiburg. Internally, the Section for Care and Rehabilitation Research (SEVERA), the Academy for Medical Professions, the Study Center and the Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology (ZGGF) are involved in the project.
Ideas for the use of new technologies in care are very welcome and can be sent to the network coordinator:

Our movement concept is a concept for ergonomic and physiological work in nursing and physiotherapy. The respective skills from nursing and physiotherapy are brought together and developed into a uniform basis. The aim is to tackle problems and difficulties both in the movement of patients and in our own movement behavior together competently in the future.
Anxiety and uncertainty among patients and relatives can cause stress and lead to tense, sometimes aggressive situations. Through coordinated training concepts and a wide range of support services, our teams on the wards and in the functional areas are supported by our specially trained trainers. The aim is to prevent and deal with stressful situations.
Magnet4Europe is a study on the organizational transformation of hospitals and is funded by the EU Commission as part of the Horizon 2020 programme for research and innovation. The study runs until December 2023.
