[The virtual ILD board: a pilot project]. / Das virtuelle ILD-Board ­ Erfahrungen aus einem Pilotprojekt.

Interstitial lung diseases are associated with high morbitity and mortality. Rapid diagnosis in a qualified center is necessary in order to provide the best possible treatment. However, geographic distance and organizational issues lead to unacceptable delays. To support pulmonologists in private practice, we have trialed a digital system that minimizes such delays. The "virtual ILD board" leads to a considerably faster diagnosis and is a helpful tool for pulmonologists in practice. Standardization increases patient safety by ensuring interdisciplinary assessment and thus makes a relevant contribution to the management and guideline-based care of interstitial lung diseases.

Evaluation of Patient's Attitude Towards Computer Supported History Taking.

We provide a highly integrated tool to conduct dynamic, multilingual anamnesis interviews with patients to enhance documentation and provide physicians with more time for patient interaction in an outpatient setting. A first analysis of patients' satisfaction with the user interface shows a high rate of acceptance and prompts further research.
