Quality versus efficiency in healthcare?
Quality versus efficiency in healthcare?

In areas such as health care or education, there is high cost pressure. At the same time, this type of service can only be made more efficient to a limited extent, as direct interpersonal contact is often essential for its benefit. The HSG's Institute of Information Management has investigated which approach is best suited to resolving this contradiction. How, for example, can visits to doctors be arranged in such a way that new technologies not only lead to greater efficiency but also to a better quality of life and treatment for patients? (in German)
Retirement provision 4.0
