We asked 100 doctors in Germany….

What do you think about the digitisation and modernisation of healthcare?

Modern technology:
45% do not feel supported by technology

Practice management systems:
70% are dissatisfied with their practice management system

Time management:
50% do not have enough time for their patients

Telematics Infrastructure:
3 out of 4 doctors do not know how they can benefit from the TI

Workload:
40% find the workload in their practice unmanageable

Administrative tasks:
3 out of 4 doctors spend too much time on administrative tasks

Billing:
65% are dissatisfied with the billing processes

Digitalisation:
80% believe digitisation can reduce time spent on admin

According to the bureaucracy index of the KBV, doctors spend the equivalent of one day per week managing their administrative tasks. Not only do doctors suffer from this burden, patients too feel the consequences of outdated processes in medical practice. For example, 30% of state insured patients wait for at least 30 minutes despite having a scheduled appointment and 17% even wait up to one hour.
