Journal of Health Monitoring23PROCEEDINGSholders, which would enable a fast exchange of ideas and needs. To use windows of opportunity – time points where policy advice is required – flexibility and structures which enable fast responses are needed. Information prepared­ness could be realized through information repositories, which have to be updated on a regular basis. Furthermore, ad hoc working groups would be useful to work on current topics. Social media e.g. storytelling via Twitter seems to have a great potential to inform persons seeking for health information and patients about health issues [2].Important steps to enhance dissemination include the need for a RKI mandate to ensure capacities for the imple­mentation of strategies and permanent establishment of competencies. Secondly, goals have to be set, which include agenda setting: ‘What are the topics which need to be addressed? Do it actively.’ and agenda keeping: ‘What is in the public discussion? Influence it by facts.’ In addition, structures and networks have to be built up to increase expert knowledge and exchange. As discussed during the workshop, for instance, competencies of the RKI staff may be increased through exchange with World Health Organi­zation (WHO) collaboration centers or a WHO collabora­tion center may be hosted at the RKI.References1.

The question we answered was: ‘How can the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) as a national public health institute facilitate dissemination of results among public health stakeholders, and what could be important steps to enhance that (e.g. Cochrane Public Health Research network, institutional repositories)?’First, we defined the stakeholders, which seem to be rele­vant for the dissemination of RKI research: among others Public Health Services (ÖGD), Health ministries (Federal, State), as well as policy areas (‘health in all policy’), media and press, universities, schools, the Federal Centre for Health Edu­cation (BZgA), the general public and health care providers.Secondly, we discussed how the RKI can facilitate the dissemination of results among these stakeholders. Public health strategies comprise interventions at local, regional and national levels. These strategies should be organized in a conceptual framework. Thus, the RKI will benefit from the synergy effects resulting from actions on different lev­els. The exchange of experience, knowledge and ideas between the RKI and the stakeholders requires proactive as well as reactive structures. Proactive structures were defined as continuous working groups between the national and the federal state level to set priorities and present rel­evant heath issues. Reactive structures were considered as standing working groups (do not meet regularly, but mem­bers and responsibilities are predefined to enable fast work­flows in case of urgent matters) between different stake­Journal of Health Monitoring 2020 5(S3)This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
