Sumario: | In this interview, Werner Dorfmeister, a Vice President at DasLab and a former Global Sales Director at Karl Storz, reports on the current developments of digital technologies in the field of medical instruments and services. It is a sector where digitalization affects all processes within hospitals as well as pre- and post-surgical activities. Due to the many actors involved, who use different information systems, and the strong regulation of the entire healthcare sector, crafting digital solutions is complex, but nevertheless promising and necessary. Among the key areas mentioned in the interview are telemedicine, hospital and patient management and a sector-wide digital infrastructure. Digital platforms are described as important enablers to address current inefficiencies and to leverage future potentials towards patient-orientation, such as digital patient pathways. |
