Book excerpt: Digital healthcare is heterogeneous along the entire treatment pathway, ranging from monitoring applications and artificial-intelligence-based diagnostics, to support for virtual reality surgery. Since the introduction of the Digital Health Act in Germany in early 2020, there has been a push toward digital innovative solutions, especially in the outpatient sector. This book analyzes current digital health law from an economic perspective, combining theory with real-world applications. It examines both the incentives and market access pathways for digital solutions and the price effects brought about by the new regulatory framework in Germany. Further, it discusses the difficulties in pricing due to the monopolistic BfArM register and negotiations with the association of all German health insurance companies. The book addresses a wide range of topics, including incentives for innovation, specifics of digital health applications, reimbursement and financing options for digital health solutions. Lastly, it presents an outlook for the future and a comparison between Germany and other countries, namely the USA and Japan. Given its scope, this book will appeal to scholars of health economics, healthcare management and public health, as well as practitioners and professionals in the public health sector.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: The digital transformation of the healthcare industry did become a trending topic in Germany of the recent years. Causes for it have been the latest technological developments, Big Data, and the need for medical elucidation of patients. Unfortunately, Germany is not considered to be the pioneer in digitizing medical care in comparison to leading countries in the European Union, although the opportunities are promising. Next to ethical and technical challenges one major threat is created by the high quality of data security, which is required by German and European law, especially starting from 2018, when the new EU General Data Protection Regulation is entering into force. This survey paper will firstly shed a light on opportunities and challenges of healthcare digitization in Germany before elaborating on the detailed root causes of harming the digitalization. The main focus will be to provide high quality data security in hospital IT in line with the applying laws and regulations. Therefore, two approaches by different authors will be assessed and compared.

Book excerpt: Digital health and medical informatics have grown in importance in recent years, and have now become central to the provision of effective healthcare around the world. This book presents the proceedings of the 30th Medical Informatics Europe conference (MIE). This edition of the conference, hosted by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) since the 1970s, was due to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in April 2020, but as a result of measures to prevent the spread of the Covid19 pandemic, the conference itself had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, because this collection of papers offers a wealth of knowledge and experience across the full spectrum of digital health and medicine, it was decided to publish the submissions accepted in the review process and confirmed by the Scientific Program Committee for publication, and these are published here as planned. The 232 papers are themed under 6 section headings: biomedical data, tools and methods; supporting care delivery; health and prevention; precision medicine and public health; human factors and citizen centered digital health; and ethics, legal and societal aspects. A 7th section deals with the Swiss personalized health network, and section 8 includes the 125 posters accepted for the conference.
