Franziska Meissner has been part of the team at the Institute of General Practice and Family Medicine at Jena University Hospital since January 2021. As a research scientist in the working group for healthcare claims data, she contributes to a variety of research projects (e.g., pallCompare, WATCH) that address current questions in health services research through the analysis of healthcare claims data (e.g., data from statutory health insurance providers, or the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians). Her primary responsibilities in these projects include careful data preparation and in-depth analysis of complex and sensitive data.
Building on her PhD in psychology and extensive experience in designing, conducting, analyzing, and publishing empirical studies, Franziska is strongly committed to supporting colleagues and providing guidance on questions regarding research methods, questionnaire development, statistical analyses, and the use of relevant software (R, SAS, SPSS). Within the Center for Health Services Research), Franziska also offers lectures and workshops on these topics.
