Korbach Hospital is a modern health centre with 249 beds, where more than 10,900 inpatients and 17,000 outpatients are treated annually in the medical and rehabilitation sector. It comprises the following specialist departments: Medical Clinic, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Anaesthesia and Surgical Intensive Care Medicine as well as the Affiliated Departments for Otorhinolaryngology and Urology. The hospital has a medical care centre (gynaecology and obstetrics practice, internal medicine practice with a focus on cardiology and hematology / oncology, surgery practice) as well as specialist practices for radiology and nuclear medicine, internal medicine, urology, surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthopaedics. Under the project name "City Hospital 4.0 - moving digitally together", the Korbach City Hospital unites the various projects within the framework of the KHZG. The clinic has access to funding from the KHZG to invest in digitalization. These funds will be used for the following project, among others: "Entry into the "paperless hospital" with the introduction of a fully digital patient record and medication management in the intensive care areas".

Artificial Intelligence in Radiology (FTB 4).
Within the framework of the Hospital Future Act, the Korbach City Hospital is implementing the "Funding Fact 4 - Establishment of Partially or Fully Automated Clinical Decision Support Systems". In order to meet selected criteria (see Appendix: Specifications) for clinical decision support in radiology, a decision support system is implemented that is supported by artificial intelligence and provides AI applications or individual applications. In the following, the term "system" refers to the clinical, AI-based radiological decision support software to be implemented. The goal of the Korbach City Hospital is to improve diagnostic decision-making in radiology with regard to image evaluation and reporting for the modalities of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray (XR). A new, modern and process-oriented decision support system is to be used to increase patient safety. Depending on the indication, the required digital data is included in the diagnostic decision-making process of radiology. Specific specifications for the system have been identified, which are detailed in the specifications. The system supports processes and information in the following areas: - Structured processing of clinical patient data - Evaluation, assessment and reporting of radiological imaging - Guideline-based decision support with regard to diagnosis and therapy - Preparation of the radiological report - Documentation of the decision-making process - Communication and data transfer with the leading HIS and RIS The software solution to be implemented for clinical Decision support in radiology must meet the selected MUST criteria of KHZG funding fact 4 (§ 19 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 4 KHSFV). The ultimate goal according to the KHZG is a seamless implementation and seamless data transfer to existing systems with high standards in terms of interoperability and connectivity.
