Since July 2019, Prof. Dr. Hahn has been a member and vice chair of the newly established Saxon Arbitration Board under the Nursing Professions Act. The board’s administrative office is located within the Saxon State Ministry of Social Affairs and Consumer Protection. Its task is to issue an arbitration award in the event that the state’s competent authority, the State Hospital Association, the associations of operators of outpatient or inpatient long-term care facilities in the state, the state associations of health and long-term care insurance funds, and the State Committee of the Association of Private Health Insurers cannot jointly agree on a budget to finance the costs of long-term care training.

In addition, Prof. Dr. Erik Hahn was appointed to the Ethics Commission of the Saxon State Medical Association and to the “Ethics in Medicine” working group , which is also housed there, for the 2019–2023 term. The Ethics Committee is established pursuant to the Saxon Health Professions Chamber Act. Its task is to advise the members of the Saxon State Medical Association on issues of professional ethics and professional law, particularly regarding clinical trials on humans, epidemiological research projects involving personal data, and research involving viable human gametes and embryos. In addition, it performs duties assigned under federal law in accordance with the Drug Act, the Medical Devices Act, the Transfusion Act, the Radiation Protection Ordinance, and the X-Ray Ordinance. Among other things, pharmaceutical and medical device laws require the approval of an ethics committee competent under state law before the start of a clinical trial involving human subjects.
