The Digitalization Gap in Healthcare
An Assessment
The German healthcare system faces enormous challenges:
- Shortage of skilled workers in almost all areas
- Rising costs coupled with pressure for efficiency
- Growing documentation requirements burden daily clinical work
Medical staff spend up to 50% of their working time on administrative tasks instead of with patients.
At the same time, digitalization in hospitals often lags behind:
- Isolated system landscapes without integration
- Manual processes and media disruptions
- Lack of automation ties up valuable resources
