SUMMARY:21st forumsante.ch: the role of the doctor
DESCRIPTION:The 21st forumsante.ch is devoted to the role of doctors in the face of digitalisation and an ageing population. Alain Berset opens by mocking his own title: “Bundesrat… Unverändert seit 1848. Durch und durch analog.” \nHe links the two trends\, digital and demographic\, that are transforming the profession: more chronic illness\, more coordination between professions\, health data to be put to better use. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n21e forumsante.ch : le rôle du médecin au XXIe siècle (in German\, French-language page)
