- Abstract
The digital transformation is taking place in the healthcare sector and requires that professional qualifications be expanded to include digital competencies. Some medical faculties have already implemented curricula for this. An adapted curriculum is being developed for the primary care-oriented Brandenburg Reformed Medical Study Program, taking into account the needs of the teaching practice network. For this purpose, teaching practices were queried via a questionnaire about which digital technologies are used in patient treatment or will be used in the future and which competencies should be added to medical training. The analysis revealed that the majority were aware of digital topics and technologies, but that implementation due to legal requirements was in competition with time and monetary resources. In addition, there were uncertainties regarding the use of digital media, especially regarding background knowledge of legal and technological aspects of data protection. Furthermore, the importance of direct contact between physicians and patients was also emphasized. The incorporation of teaching practices provides the basis for developing needs-oriented curricula for training and continuing education. It became apparent that the central guiding principles of data protection and physician-patient relationships should be taken into account in order to make the best possible use of the potential of digitalization in healthcare for patient care. The goal should be to integrate digital technologies as a meaningful addition to physicians' core competencies, so that medical staff have more time for value-added activities and patients in turn benefit from improved experience and, thus, satisfaction.
