Hospitals are under enormous time pressure: Only five months remain until December 31, 2024, the deadline for the timely commissioning and implementation of all components under the Hospital Future Act (KHZG). The KHZG funding guidelines were published on November 31, 2020, by the Federal Office for Social Security (BAS). The guidelines specify which projects are eligible for funding, which requirements must be met, and how the application process is designed. The goal is to promote digitalization and modern technical equipment in German hospitals, improve patient care quality, and increase IT security. Now it’s your turn: If you don’t secure the funding in time, you risk losing important financial resources necessary for your hospital’s digitalization and modernization.
To further advance digitalization in German hospitals, several key steps are necessary. First, a detailed inventory of the existing IT infrastructure must be conducted. Then, it must be ensured that all mandatory KHZG criteria according to funding conditions (FTB 2 to FTB 6) are met. Particularly important are patient portals that enable smooth digital communication between hospitals and patients. Meeting these minimum requirements is crucial for receiving funding. For the remaining 6 of the total 11 funding conditions, targeted consulting is required to identify all funding opportunities and tailor them optimally to the specific needs of the respective facility. Finally, sustainable solutions should be selected that not only integrate seamlessly into existing system landscapes but are also cost-efficient in the long term and flexible enough to adapt to future legal changes.
