- The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) was established in 2004 to provide evidence-based and unbiased patient information to empower citizens. - IQWiG develops patient information using systematic methods to minimize bias and address uncertainties. Information is kept up-to-date and non-directive. - Producing high-quality, translated patient information that preserves accuracy is challenging but important. IQWiG aims to expand its evidence-based patient encyclopedia to over 1,000 articles on various health topics.
