Central Topic at conhIT 2014: Measures Needed to Ensure Interoperability in Outpatient Care
Healthcare policymakers are demanding greater cooperation in the organisation of outpatient care and closer networking among the relevant sectors responsible for patient care.

Furthermore, healthcare insurances and statutory health insurance-registered physicians also support networking among doctors and regional cooperation among service providers.
