eHealth and Communication

The ongoing digitalization of our healthcare system allows us to provide health-related information, data and knowledge in multifaceted ways and to reach different groups as medical personnel, patients and their relatives as well as one’s own colleges or professionals from other disciplines. This kind of information transfer has become part of a new digital way of communication which enables us to act fast, effective and interprofessional in order to help patients.
