The presentation introduced the innovative project CARE REGIO in Swabia (Bavaria) to the international audience. CARE REGIO is being carried out in cooperation with the Universities of Kempten, Augsburg and Neu-Ulm, the University of Augsburg, and the University Hospital Augsburg. The project aims to establish new digitization concepts and the continuous digitization of patient data in nursing, which are expected to optimize the time and effort required by administrative and nursing staff. Moreover, CARE REGIO seeks to facilitate the transfer of nursing patients between different institutions and make processes for nursing staff more efficient. The CARE REGIO project is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care (Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Gesundheit und Pflege). The conference presentation was created and presented by Michael Örtl, research associate at HNU’s DigiHealth Institute.
