A chapter in Digitalization in Healthcare, 2021, pp 29-42 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The digital transformation in the healthcare sector is facing many challenges. Lower IT spendings compared to other branches and a lack of specialized employees can be seen on the one hand. On the other hand, complex system structures reaching from specialized software to the hospital information system have to be taken into consideration. As well as isolated medical devices when they are connected to the IT landscape. Several data sources and storage locations make it difficult to manage and control data flow. IT security and data privacy must be seriously taken into account. Despite all these boundary conditions it is possible for hospitals to develop their digital skills and opportunities.
