What will it take for digitization to create benefits for patients? Which conditions require adaptation, which \u201ccultural\u201d barriers must be overcome? The \u201cDigital Health Roadmap<\/a>\u201d offers stakeholders in the health system thought-provoking input and concrete recommendations of action. Each recommendation has its roots in either the \u201c30 under 40\u201d expert network <\/a>or findings resulting from our Digital Patient project.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because the processes of digitization in health care are exceptionally dynamic, there is no single red thread to be identified and drawn. Nonetheless, we must do more than embrace the opportunities digitization holds; we need to take concrete action in order to ensure that digitization remains in the service of health.<\/p>\n

Our goal with the Digital Health Roadmap tool is to help actions be taken. As an ongoing collection of recommended measures, the roadmap offers specific courses of action that can be implemented in isolation of other measures. These recommendations address and can be taken up by a wide range of actors in the health system.<\/p>\n

How the recommendations are developed<\/h4>\n

Each recommendation is either developed and drafted by one or more of the \u201c30 under 40\u201d experts or derives from findings resulting from our studies and analyses conducted in the framework of the Digital Patient project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New or established recommendations are put up for discussion, review and re-evaluation at annual workshops where the members of our expert network also evaluate each recommendation in terms of its relevance. Each evaluation that includes a minimum of ten expert opinions is published. All of the recommendations are published under the \u201cRoadmap\u201d module of this website.<\/p>\n

The network-derived recommendations do not necessarily reflect the views of each member of the group; the same is true for the recommendations that emerge from the Digital Patient Project.<\/p>\n

How recommended actions are structured<\/h4>\n

In order to make the individual recommendations easy to understand and thus facilitate their implementation, we\u2019ve structured them uniformly. In addition to numbering, titling and description, each recommendation includes the following data:<\/p>\n
