Digitalization in university medicine

Medicine is in the midst of a digital transformation. This is based on the enormous amounts of data that are collected every day in the various areas of university medicine. In future, it will help us to identify and manage treatment risks in real time, continuously improve patient care, scrutinize our processes and advance our research based on data. The prerequisite for this is that we not only collect the data, but also convert it in a meaningful way, link it together and learn from it.

At the same time, digitalization offers completely new possibilities for interacting with our patients and partners from any location. Where physical proximity used to be necessary, we can now network skills and knowledge virtually and thus provide patients with the best possible care regardless of where they live.

For us, digitalization means

Collecting and converting data in a measurable and improvable manner (point-of-care documentation)

Review internal processes and adjust them if necessary (including patient empowerment)

Networking experts within the university hospital, as well as with service providers and patients

A look into the patient care of the future

Nobody wants to be ill. But being a patient could become much more pleasant in the next few years: without queues at the hospital registration desk, without waiting on hold on the phone for the latest lab results or the next appointment. In the future, apps and web portals will make it just as easy to access your own health data as it will be to communicate with and between the doctors looking after you.

Digitalization for the best possible care

Intelligent and innovative solutions can help to improve the quality of patient care, reduce the workload on staff and make operations more sustainable, both economically and ecologically.

Thanks to constant technical innovations, care is being further improved, bureaucratic tasks are being reduced, and patients are experiencing self-empowerment by being able to take action themselves.

Sensitive patient data is generated every day at the university hospital. This data must be protected from unauthorised access, but must also be available around the clock for ongoing treatment.
