简要总结
The aim of this project is to improve the integration of digital processes, including e-prescriptions, within medical and dental practices for healthcare professionals. Through a better understanding of the obstacles healthcare workers encounter during the adoption of digital processes and their feedback post-implementation, this study will add to the current state of science, contributing to digital process optimization in healthcare.
详细描述
This study uses an online questionnaire to collect data from respondents regarding their experiences and observations as healthcare professionals in the implementation of digital processes, as well as their perception of digital processes post-implementation. The survey will be conducted at two different time points, in 2023 and 2024. As part of this initiative, we plan to share the feedback and recommendations gathered with the Federal Minister of Health and relevant authorities in collaboration with GEMATIK.
Main research questions are
I. What challenges do healthcare professionals encounter in the implementation of digital processes? II. How can the offers for the implementation and introduction of digital processes (e.g. e-prescription) in medical practice for medical and dental professionals be supported and optimized?

结局指标
主要结局
Perceived Benefits of IT
时间窗: 3 months
The perceived benefits of IT are measured through self-report
Adoption and acceptance of information technology (IT)
时间窗: 3 months
The items assess the adoption and acceptance of telematic infrastructure (TI) in medical or dental practices. They collect data on the use of TI, its impact on daily operations, and its acceptance. These are example items for each category: 1. Is your medical office connected to the Telematics Infrastructure (TI)? (Answer options: "bot at all", "some days", "more than half of the days", "almost every day") 2. Does the TI connection run smoothly without causing disruption to your practice operations? (Answer options: "not at all", "some days", "more than half of the days", "almost every day") 3. Do you know if your (dental) office management fundamentally rejects a TI connection? (Answer options: "I strongly disagree", "I disagree", "I agree", "I strongly agree", "I don't know")
Requests by patients regarding IT
时间窗: 3 months
The items assess the frequency of patients' inquiries about various digital health applications and services. These are example items: 1. How often have been asked by patients about an e-prescription? (Answer options: "not at all", "some days", "more than half of the days", "almost every day") 2. What topics are you most frequently asked about by your patients? (Answer options: "online medical consultation", "eAU", "e-prescription", "ePA", "digital health apps (DIGAs)", "fitness trackers like smartwatches")
