Abstracts by keywords: Digitalization
Given the increasing need for care and staff shortages in Germany, innovative digital solutions are needed to optimize collaboration. Current processes for exchanging vital data and medication plans are time-consuming and error-prone, compromising the safety and efficiency of care. The goal of the Docs & Care Network project was to develop standards for structured data exchange and promote seamless digital integration that enables the timely and secure transfer of vital data and medication plans. The change management strategy applied in the project ensures that technical, organizational, and interpersonal aspects of digitalization are specifically addressed and that employees are actively involved. The workshops conducted have enabled process improvements that increase both the quality of patient care and the efficiency of collaboration between nursing staff and general practice.

On the occasion of the 2019 SpringSchool of the German Network for Health Services Research in April 2019, Christian Klose (Department "Digitization and Innovation" of the BMG) presented the BMG's roadmap for the development of the Digitization Act (1). This presentation is valuable for several reasons, although the reason for the connection between "digitization and innovation" is not immediately obvious. The value becomes apparent in the description of the determinants to be taken into account*. The Institute of Clinical Economics (ICE) eV is therefore establishing a new working group that deals with the practical application of technical advances in telecommunications in health services research. In this first part of our report, the preliminary work of politics is briefly mentioned and the preliminary work of science is described: The differences between clinical research (KF) and health services research (SR).
