  • Title: Recent developments of care information systems in Germany.
    Author: Büssing A, Herbig B.
    Journal: Comput Nurs; 1998; 16(6):307-10. PubMed ID: 9844256.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe recent developments in the German health care system. A taking stock of the current state of hospital information system implementations in Germany leads to the conclusion that up to now no integrated hospital information system can be found, but that the awareness for the necessity of such a system is growing. Anticipated challenges and risks of care information systems are examined on grounds of an exemplification by the German care information system PIK (Pflegedienst im Krankenhaus--Nursing service in hospital). With regard to the shift from functional to holistic nursing in Germany it is argued that the consequences of the implementation of a care information system are intertwined closely with the nursing model.
