Our recommendation
Take advantage of extensive funding now with SMASER.
Politically, the course has been set for the digitization of the healthcare system. Thanks to the KHZG funding facts on Jan. 1, 2021, a hospital future fund with funding of 4.3 billion euros was made available to expand digital services in hospitals. Digital structures with an individual setup are the basis for everything here: whether standardized electronic patient files, digital treatment plans, digitization in the emergency room and bed inventory, or digital follow-up care at home.
The Hospital Futures Act (KHZG) provides various funding opportunities for hospitals and other health care facilities. For example, investment support includes funding for investment measures that improve patient care, increase the efficiency of hospitals or advance digitization in the healthcare sector.
Innovation project funding supports innovation projects that improve patient care, promote collaboration in the healthcare sector, or advance digitization in the healthcare sector.
The KHZG also offers funding for networks that promote collaboration in healthcare, improve patient care or advance digitalization in healthcare.
It should be noted that there are many grants and supports available, which can vary by state, region and type of healthcare facility. It is recommended to visit the official website of the Federal Ministry of Health or the website of the respective State Ministry of Health to learn more about available funding.
F.A.Q
Things to know
In which areas is digitalization already being used in healthcare?
Digitization can support the healthcare sector in various ways. Some examples include:
Electronic Health Records: With electronic health records (EHRs), physicians and nurses can access and share important health information more quickly and easily.
Telemedicine: With the support of telemedicine, physicians and patients can communicate and support each other without having to be present in person.
Artificial intelligence: AI technologies can help improve diagnosis and treatment decisions by helping physicians analyze large amounts of data.
Automated workflows: Automated workflows can help improve efficiency and quality of care by ensuring that important tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Data analytics: By analyzing health data, physicians and researchers can gain valuable insights into population health and develop better treatments.
What does the Hospital Futures Act mean?
The Hospital Futures Act (KHZG) is a law in Germany that was passed in 2019. It aims to improve the quality of hospital care and stabilize hospital financing. The law contains regulations on quality assurance, patient safety and the transparency of hospital services. It also lays the groundwork for a more needs-based distribution of hospital services nationwide and promotes the expansion of outpatient and consultative services.
