Diabetes-Technologie und Digitalisierung in der stationären Diabetologie: Time to act
Diabetes technology and digitalised diabetes care in the hospital: Time to act
Zusammenfassung
In Deutschland sind 304 stationäre Einrichtungen (inkl. 74 Pädiatrien) auf die Versorgung von Menschen mit Diabetes spezialisiert. Die Mehrheit der Diabetolog:innen DDG (2.521/4.267, 59%) ist im Krankenhaus tätig [11]. Die stationäre Diabetologie steht vor vielfältigen Herausforderungen: schwierige finanzielle Rahmenbedingungen, ein unzureichendes Bewusstsein für die Relevanz von Diabetes auf die Gesundheit der Patient:innen im stationären Setting, inkonsequente Diabetestherapie, prozessuale Hindernisse und eine abnehmende Anzahl an ausbildenden Kliniken. Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung und Verfügbarkeit neuer Diabetestechnologien eröffnet ein neues Feld an Herausforderungen und bietet jedoch gleichzeitig die Chance, Diabetesmanagement im Krankenhaus neu zu gestalten und die alten Probleme mit neuen Mitteln zu lösen. Ziel dieses Positionspapiers ist es, die komplexe Situation, die Vielfalt offener Themen und die besonderen Chancen der Diabetestechnologie zu umreißen und so eine Diskussion für eine Plattform für Diabetolog:innen des stationären Sektors und eine holistische Strategie des digitalisierten Diabetesmangements zur Optimierung und Sicherung der stationären Diabetesversorgung anzuregen.
Abstract
In Germany, 304 hospitals including 74 paediatric clinics offer specialised in-patient care for people with diabetes. The majority of German diabetologists (2.521/4.267, 59%) is working in the hospital [11]. Inpatient diabetology faces multiple challenges including an insufficient awareness of the impact of diabetes on the health of patients in the inpatient setting, inconsistent diabetes therapy, procedural obstacles and a decreasing number of educating clinics in addition to and due to difficult financial conditions. The advancing digitalisation and availability of new diabetes technologies opens a new field of challenges. However, at the same time it offers the opportunity to reshape diabetes management in hospitals and solve known problems with new tools. The aim of this position paper is to outline the complex situation, variety of open issues and the special opportunities of diabetes technology and thus stimulate a discussion for a platform for diabetologists working in the inpatient sector and a holistic strategy of digitalised diabetes management to optimize and secure inpatient diabetes care.
