Abstract:
The non-university sector is a central facility for the medical care of patients in Germany. So far, information technology infrastructure in this local health care sector is not developed and the many generated patient data are not further used. In this project, an advanced integrative, digital infrastructure will be established within the regional health care provider. Furthermore, a clinical use case will demonstrate the functionality and added outcome value of cross-sectoral data with a newly developed app to support follow-up care of former intensive care unit patients. The app will give an overview of current health status and generate longitudinal data for use in further clinical research.
