Digitalization & Digital Health

Digitalization plays a key role in the healthcare sector in meeting the growing demands for efficiency, quality, and patient-centered care. Digital technologies not only enable the optimization of existing processes, but also create entirely new opportunities for healthcare delivery and the further development of healthcare system structures.

We support our clients with extensive experience and expertise in three key areas of digital transformation in the healthcare sector:

1. Advising political stakeholders on the design and evaluation of digital transformation projects
   Whether it involves measuring digital maturity, evaluating digital transformation initiatives, or further developing telematics infrastructure in the healthcare sector, we use our in-depth system knowledge and experience to provide valid data for policymakers. We employ a wide range of scientific methods, including the full spectrum of evaluative approaches, as well as modeling and various management methods.
2. Guidance in developing innovative healthcare solutions with a digital focus
   Many digital products and services only realize their full value as part of a holistic healthcare model. We support you in designing such care models, identifying and connecting you with project partners, and measuring success—whether in the context of innovation fund applications, the structuring of selective contracts, pilot projects, or other contexts. In addition, we are familiar with the requirements for digital health applications (DiGAs) and digital care applications (DiPAs) under the fast-track procedure.
3. Support in the development of reimbursement models and health economic analyses for digital healthcare services
   Currently, self-governing bodies in the healthcare sector face the challenge of developing reimbursement systems for digital services and products. Through well-founded health economic analyses, we establish a foundation for determining appropriate reimbursement amounts and, thereby, for the sustainable integration of digital services into the existing healthcare landscape.
