The German Network for Evidence based Medicine (in German: Deutsches Netzwerk Evidenzbasierte Medizin DNEbM) is a scientific nonprofit association of individuals and institutions promoting the quality of patient care and disease prevention by applying the principles of evidence-based healthcare (EbHC) - in special dentistry (EbD), medicine (EbM), nursing (EbN), pharmacy, physiotherapy - in the countries of German language.
Being a multiprofessional community, DNEbM provides an interdisciplinary discussion and communication forum for health care providers, patients and consumers, health care scientists, managers and political decision makers on all aspects of EbM&N/EbHC.
The network's membership consists of nearly 800 individuals and more than 50 institutions working in the field of evidence-based healthcare or endorsing it, among them the German Cochrane Center, the German Agency for Quality in Medicine (AEZQ/AQuMed), and the IQWIG.
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. The board’s executive committee, comprising chair, 1st and 2nd vice-chair, treasurer, oversee the day-to-day activities, organized by the Berlin-based secretariat (executive officer, administrative secretary, webmaster).

DNEbM’s annual scientific congresses have been the key event for individuals and organisations interested in EbHC/EbM&N science and education. Presentations are peer reviewed, and – if accepted – published in the bi-lingual open access journal eGMS.
The peer-reviewed German Journal for Evidence and Quality in Healthcare ZEFQ, founded in 1904 as Zeitschrift für ärztliche Fortbildung, is DNEbM’s official organ. ZEFQ is also the German-language organ of the Guidelines International Network G-I-N.
