Short description
In combination with the German Federal Government’s National Digitalisation Strategy, the Digitalisation Strategy for Health and Care plots a clear course of action. It sets out a vision of a resilient, future-proof, sustainable and digitally assisted health and care system, and provides guidelines on how to achieve it. The Strategy provides all stakeholders with a transparent guideline. It contains verifiable goals and objectives, will be evaluated regularly, and updated continuously. Digital transformation of health and care serves in enabling people in Germany to lead healthy, good and long lives. In doing so, an eye is kept to the European dimension of cross-border healthcare provision. The aim is to achieve the best-possible mix of digital and analogue components of people-centric healthcare.
