Health Care

A well-functioning health care system is among the most central concerns in our society. Factors such as the phenomenon of the “ageing population” or the increase in so called “lifestyle-diseases”, however, place additional pressure on public health care systems and create the need of a continuous increase in efficiency next to a parallel reduction of costs. At the same time, patients appear to demand more transparency, information, a higher quality and a better coordination of their health service providers. Those, however, lament overwork, too little time for their patients and are confronted with a veritable knowledge explosion, accelerated by fast-paced forms of therapy and medical drugs.

In the face of these challenges, the usage of information and communication services can contribute essentially to granting the necessary relief to health care systems as well as allowing enormous quality intensification. These services can be summarised by the key word of “eHealth”, whose starting points can be manifold.

Among the most important ICT-based concepts, there are:

• Tele-medical services and home care applications
• Smart Home or Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions
• Electronic health files (eLab, eMedication, eReferral, eOrdering, Doctor’s eNote etc.)
• Integrated hospital information systems
• IT outsourcing
