Abstract:
Ultimately, new (digital) techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) applications are changing the working environment in urology. This can be an opportunity for further development, but also a change which is not desired. Adjustments to work processes may be necessary. So-called disruptive processes lead to fundamental changes. In the context of the digital transformation, our way of working is changing. Classic hierarchies, working hours, and working environments are dissolving in favor of creative and flexible working models and corporate structures. Clinics and practices in urology must prepare themselves for changing requirements and be able to provide answers.
