So how can digitalisation processes in hospitals be better designed?

These are assessments I have heard time and again from medical experts and hospital IT departments. Rather than creating the expected relief for specialist staff, the subjective perception is that digitalisation efforts tend to create additional work and are not user-friendly. Problems with staff acceptance are repeatedly reported, as old routines change, new processes need to be learned, or the benefits of the changes are simply not apparent.

Invest in a holistic and sustainable approach rather than isolated solutions.
Process analysis and optimization prior to corresponding digitalization.
Development of a digitalisation strategy tailored to the individual hospital, including co-creative adaptation of solutions with the respective stakeholders (e.g. medical staff and nursing staff).
Early involvement of medical staff in close dialogue with IT experts in both the planning and implementation phases, including appropriate training and strengthening of digital skills.
Transparent communication of the need for change.
Simple and user-friendly ease of use of digital tools with the viber data participation of UX/UI experience.
Regular review and revision of cybersecurity concepts to be prepared for potential cyberattacks and minimize process disruptions and downtime, including increased awareness.
Current hot topics: interoperability, platforms and cloud solutions
The availability of medical data and communication between stakeholders in the healthcare sector often reaches its limits because systems are not interoperable. Duplicated documentation in daily care can also be caused by internal interoperability issues.

Interoperability platforms (see also adesso Health Stack) are currently considered a "game changer" within the often opaque IT infrastructure of hospitals. This infrastructure often consists of numerous subsystems, individual in-house developments and proprietary software from various sources.
The main objective is to enable data exchange between IT systems and sectors, which is also pursued as part of the telematics infrastructure (IT). gematik GmbH acts as a coordination centre for interoperability and works closely with the experts of the INTEROP Council.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary for each hospital to harmonize the internal exchange of information via interfaces, for example via data platforms where all of a hospital's information is brought together. These platforms are also the basis for the sensible use of artificial intelligence (AI), which relies on the availability of high-quality data.
Cloud-based information systems offer considerable advantages in this context and can now also be used in the health sector with the current digitalisation bill.
The standardised exchange of syntactically and semantically unambiguous medical data is crucial for further digital use. For this reason, the BMBF-funded Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) has developed a standardised electronic exchange and use format (MII core data set in the HL7 FHIR standard) for these data – an important milestone on the road to efficient, interoperable and secure healthcare in the digital age.
