Abstract

Digitalization in the healthcare system is a great challenge for rheumatology as for other medical disciplines. The German Society for Rheumatology (DGRh) wants to actively participate in this process and benefit from it. By founding the commission on digital rheumatology, the DGRh has created a committee that deals with the associated tasks, advises the DGRh on questions and positions associated with digital health. For the DGRh, this affects the most diverse areas of digitalization in medicine and rheumatology. This position paper presents the topics and developments currently handled by the commission and the tasks identified.
