E-Health in China and Germany: A Comparison of the SWOT-Analysis of Both Solutions
Over the last forty years,the percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) spent on average on healthcare by members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries rose steadily. Challenges like technological changes, longer life expectation and population ageing will lead to exponentially rising health expenditures in the future. This growing health spending creates a significant cost pressure for all countries. Reducing these expenditures as well as offering effective and efficient quality healthcare treatment is therefore becoming a priority globally. Technology and automation in general have the potential to reduce these costs,but the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in e-health solutions in particular appears to be the answer for these challenges. Based on these facts,this paper focuses on the Chinese and German e-health solutions.
