Zuversichtsgemeinschaft statt Sektorendenken: Community-Management für bessere Versorgung

Digitale Zusammenarbeit statt Sektorendenken: Mit Thies Eggers zeigen wir, wie Community‑Management Versorgung steuert und regionale Lösungen sichtbar macht. Thies ist Arzt und Community‑Manager mit Stationen u. a. bei Planfox und Fbeta. Er erklärt, warum Digitalisierung mehr ist als ein Werkzeug, wie Standes- und Sektorengrenzen echte Kooperation behindern und was eine „Zuversichtsgemeinschaft“ bewirken kann. Wir sprechen über eine Fokusgruppenstudie zur regionalen digitalen Versorgung, die daraus entstandene Blaupause zur Versorgungssteuerung sowie ein dreistufiges Modell der Zusammenarbeit von Einrichtung, Region und Anbietern. Außerdem: Transformationsfonds, gelebte Interoperabilität und warum Zuhören wichtiger ist als Senden.

Digitalisierung beginnt mit Haltung: Prof. Jan Appel über Führung, KI und die Pflege von morgen

Was brauchen Führungskräfte in der Pflege, um digitale Transformation nicht nur zu bewältigen, sondern aktiv zu gestalten? In dieser Folge spricht Prof. Dr. Jan Appel über Digitalisierung als Haltung, nicht als Tool. Mit Melanie Philip diskutiert er, warum Kulturveränderung und werteorientierte Führung die Voraussetzung für gelingende Innovationen sind – und warum KI-Projekte allein nicht weiterhelfen. Jan gibt konkrete Einblicke in seine Arbeit als Berater und zeigt, wie sich Organisationen auf den Weg machen können.

What does digitalisation mean for nursing care?

Digitalisation in nursing care means the targeted use of digital technologies to make care processes more efficient, more transparent and of higher quality. This includes electronic care records, digital documentation systems, telemedicine, assistive systems and smart applications that support people in need of care in their daily lives. These digital solutions relieve nursing staff of bureaucratic tasks, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and improve the safety of care. At the same time, digitalisation enables better use of data for quality assurance and individual support. Particularly in view of demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers, it offers great potential for sustainable, people-centred care.

Topics we cover

Digital care in everyday life, clearly explained

Nursing care is essential to society, and digitalisation can revolutionise it. We talk to the people it really affects and make digital care tangible, with real stories from practice.

Innovation & best practice first-hand

We bring together the people who really shape care: nurses who use digital solutions, start-ups with bold ideas and decision-makers who want to make a difference. The result is a realistic view of what digital innovation in care can achieve, today and tomorrow.

Sustainable care with technology

How can digitalisation help to conserve resources, relieve nursing staff and secure care in the long term? We show that digital care can also be smart and sustainable, and why this is crucial for the future.

Discussions that change care

Data protection, funding or acceptance: we talk openly about opportunities and obstacles. With inspiring voices, critical questions and honest exchange, so that digital care becomes not just possible but practical.

Why you shouldn't miss a podcast on digital care…

Understanding topics together

Nursing care can be complex, whether it is legislative changes, digital innovations or ethical questions in everyday practice. Our podcast explains current care topics in a clear, well-founded and practical way. Healthcare experts put developments into context, provide background insights and offer orientation. In this way, we foster a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities in care, for carers, interested listeners and decision-makers alike.

Help shape the future

Care affects us all, if not today then tomorrow, which is why we invite you to get actively involved. The podcast gives a voice to the people shaping innovation in care: nurses, start-up founders, tech experts, ethicists and people in need of care. Their experiences, ideas and perspectives take centre stage. We highlight what is changing in everyday care and show how engagement and fresh thinking can help shape its future.

Immer und überall zuhören

Whether on your way to work, on a walk or during your coffee break, our care podcast is flexible and available at any time. Stay informed without relying on journals or lengthy research. Concise, clear and well prepared, we offer knowledge and exchange from the world of care to take with you, wherever you are.

Shape the future of digital healthcare with us.
