Abstract

The practical possibilities of medical diagnostics and care have improved dramatically in recent years. This has been made possible by the latest diagnostics and therapeutic approaches, which can be implemented into old age. This has resulted in a wealth of information that is only possible with the help of digital data storage and data transfer to cooperating partners. In the last 10 years, the urgent need for care networks with joint treatment concepts and data exchange has arisen on this basis. The growing group of elderly, multimorbid patients poses a particular challenge. On average, these patients have 12 diagnoses and make use of a large number of co-treating medical colleagues. But also nursing and pharmacy documentation must be available in real time. The challenge of the future will be to have this information available at all times and to be able to interpret a patient’s medical situation in real time. The challenge also lies in the fact that there is an increasing shortage of personnel in the nursing and medical services, so that new monitoring devices are being sought to integrate information into this trans-sectoral data network. The article points out to partners and possible solutions currently emerging in the health market.
