leadership vision

In the digital future, politicians, professionals, patients and citizens will be able to use best evidence, provided by trustworthy guideline recommendations to make informed decisions in health care.

my story

I feel honoured to be a fellow of the first cohort and having had the opportunity to share ideas in this phantastic think tank.

The exchange with other leaders strenghtened me in my approach to head off for a Digital Trustworthy Evidence Ecosystem. After a pilot, supported by the German Ministry of Health, we are now on to implementation with an international consortium - including HL7 and EbMonFHIR. Medical Knowledge Management in the Digital Age needs nothing less than internationally accepted Communication and Interoperability Standards.
