Digital medicine in the Thuringian nursing home: Video treatments start now!
In the spirit of digital transformation in the healthcare system, Thuringia has launched an innovative pilot project that goes by the illustrious name “Carla”. As the Borken newspaper reports, this project aims to counteract long waiting times for family and specialist treatment for residents of nursing homes. This project is particularly relevant because many rural areas are faced with increasing challenges, such as a declining density of doctors and longer distances to practices.
The initiative is being carried out in five nursing homes in the districts of Sömmerda, Nordhausen, Greiz, Hildburghausen and Gotha. These facilities will be equipped with tablet computers and digital medical devices that will allow medical professionals to record important health data such as heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels in real time. According to Health Minister Katharina Schenk (SPD), digital networking plays a crucial role for medical care in Thuringia.
Digital support for care facilities
An impressive budget of 154,000 euros will be made available for the implementation of the project, which will initially run for 27 months. What is particularly positive is that the staff on site is being trained in how to use the new technology, which should significantly improve medical care. Christoph Rödiger, a practicing family doctor, sees “Carla” as a promising solution to the supply problems in nursing homes. The direct exchange with treating doctors at the Landhaus Alperstedter Hof could significantly reduce the need for acute care visits and patient transport.
The digital transformation in healthcare is not a one-off phenomenon, but a process affecting society as a whole, which is also influenced by the NCBI is treated in detail. Here, existing supply structures are checked for their digital feasibility. The change not only affects the introduction of digital applications, but also the improvement of existing processes in order to sustainably increase the quality of care.
A look into the future of healthcare
These digital solutions are not only necessary for the current situation, but also a step into the future. At a time when the need for care in rural areas is increasing, the question arises as to how digital health technology can improve people's quality of life. The ability to effectively use digital health applications will be critical to how we address healthcare challenges in the coming years.
Finally, it remains to be hoped that projects like “Carla” will make medical exchange more efficient and raise health care in Thuringia to a new level. It remains to be seen how these digital offerings affect patients and whether they can actually save resources in the healthcare sector.
