GÖK Consulting supports clinics in identifying, applying for and implementing eligible projects. The current crisis shows how important digitization is for healthcare and must therefore be driven forward more intensively. With the passing of the Hospital Future Act (KHZG), the German government aims to promote digitization in German hospitals. To this end, the federal and state governments have launched an investment program worth billions of euros to counteract the investment backlog in the area of digitization. Hospitals can apply for funding until the end of the year. With the help of a holistic consulting approach, GÖK Consulting supports customers in taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the funding program.

GÖK Consulting is already supporting several hospitals on the path to digital transformation.  With the help of an analytical and systematic approach, GÖK Consulting supports the preparation and realization of funding applications. In addition to the short-term availability of free resources, which are urgently needed in the Corona crisis, the hospital benefits from the comprehensive expert knowledge of the GÖK consultants.
