Description

Digital innovations in healthcare systems can significantly contribute to improving health care. Digital solutions can improve patient safety, improve the quality of treatment outcomes and increase the economic efficiency and sustainability of a healthcare system. But by international comparison, Germany is only insufficiently exploiting this potential for digitisation. Many other European and Western countries are much more advanced in the use and application of, for example, electronic health records, e-prescriptions or electronic doctor-patient communication. This progress is not only common for the Nordic countries to be reckoned with, but also for many health care systems in other EU countries, whose degree of digitisation is significantly higher than that of the German health care system.

The Digital Patient

We aim to help ensure technology is used to serve medicine. The goal of new digital developments should be to incorporate as many patient users as possible.

Digitale Transformation im Gesundheitswesen

Es herrscht Einigkeit darüber, dass das Gesundheitssystem digitalisiert werden muss. Aber häufig kommt die Umsetzung nur schleppend voran. Wir möchten mit unserem Projekt "Digitale Transformation" eine nutzenstiftende und nachhaltige Digitalisierung des deutschen Gesundheitswesens unterstützen.
