Expert opinion research
Expert opinion research
We examine the quality of content and design of external prognosis reports for the "Maßregelvollzug" (according to § 16 para. 3 MRVG-NW) and compare them with the corresponding statements of the hospitals.
What does this look like in practice?
We investigated the quality of external prognosis reports for the “Maßregelvollzug” (§ 16 para. 3 MRVG-NW) on behalf of the NRW Ministry of Health and in collaboration with the "Gesellschaft für Therapieevaluation & Qualitätssicherung Düsseldorf" (TEQS). Randomly selected prognosis reports were examined with regard to their quality in terms of content and form. Furthermore, the reports were compared with statements from the clinic, and the quality of the expert opinions was evaluated by judges.
The final report of the project can be found here (German language).
Preparation of expert reports
Furthermore, we prepare expert opinions on criminal law, civil law and social law issues. The expert opinions are prepared in our institute by forensically experienced physicians and psychologists.
