The penetration of digital health applications into the daily prescribing routine of primary care physicians and specialists is taking place only very hesitantly; moreover, many patients do not fill their prescriptions at all or discontinue the DTx use at an early stage.

GPs and specialists often assess the quality of their practice management according to subjective criteria or indicators of patient satisfaction. But these benchmarks are far too general, unreliable and do not provide detailed, realistic information about the actual state of affairs.

Work pressure, stress, demotivation: for many practice owners, these terms are daily reality. But often this stress would not be necessary at all.

The implementation and benefits of digitisation depend primarily on concrete and systematic action, not only in medical practices. However, the prerequisite for this is always a positive willingness. In GP and specialist practices, the picture is divided with regard to the latter aspect.
Undiplomatic, clumsy, dismissive, toxic: the phrase “Yes, but…” is probably the most frequently used “killer phrase” in doctor-patient conversations.
