The initiative is run by an independent clinical research network with a clear public-health focus.
Participating sites can manage institutions, maintain metadata, and work with their own allocation exports.
Inspect records with filters for urgency, transport context, assignment patterns, and clinical characteristics.
Generate distributions and trend views to support evidence-based emergency care decisions.
Although emergency medical services are among the largest referrers to emergency departments, there are still only few large-scale systematic analyses of EMS patient characteristics. Since 2017, the web-based IVENA system has been used across Germany to digitally register EMS patients at acute care hospitals.
For every allocation, an anonymized dataset is created and stored, including variables such as age, sex, coded suspected diagnosis, urgency, assignment pathway, physician accompaniment, CPR, ventilation, infection status, pregnancy, and requested resources like resuscitation room or cath lab.
In early 2021, members of the DGINA working group in Hesse initiated this collaborative platform to merge IVENA allocation data from many hospitals and enable shared statistics and dedicated analyses for specific emergency care research questions.
Each hospital can be represented with structured profile data, participation status, and ownership assignments for local administration.
Analyze age, sex, coded suspected diagnosis, priority, assignment pathway, and other operational characteristics across large cohorts.
Create focused analyses for specific research questions and compare institutional patterns with anonymized clusters.
Hospitals can continuously import new IVENA exports and use structured exports for downstream scientific workflows.
