DIGITALIZATION OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES

THE CASE OF GERMANY

Summary/Abstract: The digitization of healthcare services brings many challenges. The process of introducing new technologies can be very long and relatively complicated. Changes that affect the whole system inevitably affect the relationship between physicians and patients, especially with regard to new ways of communicating and providing health services. The research is dedicated to the process of digitization of healthcare services in Germany, as one of the leading European countries in terms of financial allocation for healthcare and the availability of healthcare services. The research is analyzing problems that have arisen in the process of digitization and the potential solutions. Special attention was dedicated to legal regulations in this field. In addition to the need for frequent adaptation of legal regulations, the example of Germany shows that it is crucial to achieve the appropriate level of security and trust of the users and service providers in the new system, in order to make its implementation more effective. The paper also shows the latest innovations in this field, the implementation of which can be expected in other countries in the coming period. The new digitalization measures will also present a challenge for legal practitioners, who will have the task of adapting regulations to suit the new requirements and to find innovative solutions.
