Here are the reasons why soft skills are essential for leaders in digital transformation.

The underestimated barriers to digitalisation in German medical practices

What it’s all about

Digitalisation in the German healthcare system offers considerable potential for increasing the efficiency and quality of patient care. Nevertheless, the transformation is only progressing slowly, especially in medical practices. This is why there is an intensive debate on how the benefits of digital solutions for outpatient care can be quickly and systematically realised by GPs and specialists. The central starting point here is to overcome the scepticism and reluctance of practice owners by providing targeted information and concrete use cases. However, this attitude is only the tip of the iceberg. However, two fundamental problems remain largely unnoticed, which are an extreme obstacle to effective digitalisation: inadequate organisational and organisational structures and a lack of entrepreneurial skills and knowledge among doctors.

Outpatient medicine in Germany: The medieval pillory in modern medical practices

What it’s all about

The results from the employee surveys of our practice management comparisons show that around 25% of German GP and specialist practices have a system that is reminiscent of the medieval pillory: practice owners publicly reprimand their employees in front of colleagues and patients when they make mistakes.

The telephone imposition: Why doctors need to rethink

What it’s all about

At a time when digital innovations form the backbone of efficient business management, the German healthcare system, especially in medical practice communication, often falls short of its potential. A particularly pressing problem is the „telephone imposition“ – a significant burden for both patients and practice staff, which manifests itself in endless queues and the expectation of callbacks.

Digitalisation of the healthcare system in Germany: Practice management is the key to success

What it’s all about

Like all other players in the healthcare system in Germany, GPs and specialists are also facing a major challenge: digitalisation. However, the widespread reluctance of many practice owners to embrace this transformation is often misinterpreted. It’s not primarily about a rejection of the technology itself, but about a deeper, often unconscious realisation for doctors: current practice management models are reaching their limits and a comprehensive redesign of management is unavoidable.

This phenomenon raises a key question: Is this form of precaution a clever self-protection measure or a sign of disloyalty to the company?
