Martin Fangmeyer

Martin Fangmeyer serves as a Researcher at the University for Continuing Education Krems within the Faculty of Health and Medicine. He leads the Information Centre for Nurses for Cochrane Austria, operating from Campus Krems (Tract X, Room X1-007), with a mission to bridge evidence-based research and clinical nursing practice across Austria.

Holding a Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing (BScN, MScN), Fangmeyer specializes in translating systematic reviews into actionable clinical guidelines. His research portfolio emphasizes Evidence-Based Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health, with particular focus on the Choosing Wisely initiative to eliminate low-value care. Key domains include rapid evidence synthesis for outpatient management (e.g., COVID-19), complication prevention in immobile patients, and optimizing vascular access protocols.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent methodology in rapid review production and knowledge translation. His work predominantly addresses acute clinical dilemmas through Cochrane Pflege Forum publications, targeting practical nursing interventions for conditions like catheter occlusion, delirium prophylaxis, and pressure injury prevention. This output demonstrates strategic alignment with real-time clinical decision support needs.

Fangmeyer directs two major funded initiatives: the Joanna Briggs Institute Collaboration (2024-2029) and Ebn-Pflegeinformationszentrum (2019-2026), both supported by Austrian regional governments. His grant portfolio includes private funding for the Rapid Review Vinzenzgruppe project, reflecting trust in his rapid evidence synthesis capabilities.

As head of Cochrane Austria's nursing arm, he oversees a national knowledge hub that disseminates evidence-based resources through workshops, conference lectures (e.g., EbM-Netzwerk 2025), and direct clinical support. His Safewards model implementation work in psychiatric settings demonstrates cross-disciplinary application of evidence-based frameworks.
