Komplexitätssteigerung medizinischer Entscheidungssituationen – Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung erkennen und gestalten

authored by: Stefanie Büchner, Michael Marschollek, Nilufar Foadi
Abstract: The opportunities and limits of digitalisation for medical decision-making situations have been discussed heavily so far regarding to the potentials of single technologies and digital tools. Following sociological perspectives, which understand medical decision-making as socially embedded and hybrid, we show central structural challenges of digitalisation in clinical decision-making situations and develop recommendations for action for practice. If the structural challenges of digitalisation can be overcome positively, sustainable opportunities for improving medical decision-making situations through digitalisation will open up. With this integrative perspective, it is possible to avoid narrowing down to individual technologies and idealising decision-making situations, to anticipate unintended consequences and to open up perspectives for medium- and long-term quality improvements.
