The increasingly digitized healthcare system requires new skills from all those involved. In order to impart these competencies, appropriate courses must be developed at educational institutions. In view of the rapid development of new aspects of digitization, this presents a challenge; suitable teaching formats must be developed successively. The establishment of cross-location teaching networks is one way to better meet training needs and to make the necessary spectrum of educational content available. As part of the Medical Informatics Initiative, the HiGHmed consortium is establishing such a teaching network, in the field of medical informatics, which covers many topics related to the digitization of the health care system. Various problem areas in the German education system were identified that hinder the development of the teaching network. These problem areas were prioritized firstly according to the urgency of the solution from the point of view of the HiGHmed consortium and secondly according to existing competencies in the participating societies. A workshop on the four most relevant topics was organized with experts from the German Society for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS), the Society for Medical Education (GMA) and the HiGHmed consortium. These are: recognition of exam results from teaching modules that are offered digitally and across locations, and their integration into existing curricula; recognition of digital, cross-location teaching in the teachers' teaching load; nationwide uniform competencies for teachers, in order to be able to conduct digital teaching effectively and with comparable quality; technical infrastructure to efficiently and securely communicate and manage the recognition of exam results between educational institutions. For all subject areas, existing preliminary work was identified on the basis of working questions, and short- and long-term needs for action were formulated. Finally, a need for the redesign of a technologically supported syntactic and semantic interoperability of learning performance recording was identified.
不断发展的数字化医疗系统需要所有相关人员具备新技能。为了传授这些能力，教育机构必须开发相应的课程。鉴于数字化新领域的快速发展，这是一个挑战；必须相继开发合适的教学模式。建立跨地点教学网络是更好地满足培训需求并提供必要教育内容的一种方式。作为医学信息学倡议的一部分，HiGHmed 联盟正在建立这样一个医学信息学教学网络，涵盖与医疗保健系统数字化相关的许多主题。在德国教育系统中确定了各种阻碍教学网络发展的问题领域。首先根据 HiGHmed 联盟的解决方案紧迫性，其次根据参与协会的现有能力，对这些问题领域进行了优先级排序。与德国医学信息学、生物统计学和流行病学学会 (GMDS)、医学教育学会 (GMA) 和 HiGHmed 联盟的专家一起组织了一个关于四个最相关主题的研讨会。这些主题是：认可在数字和跨地点提供的教学模块中的考试成绩，并将其纳入现有课程；认可教师教学工作量中的数字化、跨地点教学；为教师提供全国统一的能力，以便能够有效地进行数字化教学，并具有可比的质量；技术基础设施，以高效、安全地在教育机构之间进行考试成绩的识别和管理。对于所有主题领域，根据工作问题确定了现有的初步工作，并制定了短期和长期的行动需求。最后，确定需要重新设计技术支持的学习成绩记录的语法和语义互操作性。
