To date, ICT has not set off the long hoped-for transformation in healthcare. However, this change is sure to occur in the coming years as major driving forces such as an aging population and rising cost pressures become overwhelmingly critical issues that demand a solution. The creation of an integrated information and communication infrastructure networking the players in healthcare will increase the system’s efficiency significantly; ICT systems in healthcare will then serve as researchable medical databases with open interfaces. The intelligent networking of a large number of such databases will give rise to a medical “smart grid.” Besides reducing costs, this will improve medical practice and stimulate research into new medications as well as provide better data regarding how medications are actually taken and how they interact with other medications. The linking of electronic patient files with medication research systems will also make it possible to increase the efficiency of innovation management in research and development.
