[citation needed] DNEbM is a charity, according to German law, with a board of trustees, whose members are elected by the annual general meeting every second year.

[1] The peer-reviewed German Journal for Evidence and Quality in Healthcare, founded in 1904 as Zeitschrift für ärztliche Fortbildung, is DNEbM’s official organ.

Since the network’s foundation, DNEbM members, working in organizations and committees being responsible for defining health care benefits as well as for patient safety programmes, have been promoting EbHC.

Over a decade methods, challenges and barriers of EbHC tools such as systematic reviews, guidelines have been discussed within the framework of DNEbM.

The DSA is for ambitious and creative scientific EbHC / EbM / EbN projects that engage people with developments in that field on a regional, national or international scale.
