According to the DVG, Physicians in hospitals can only prescribe DiGA for discharge management. The vast majority of German hospitals are modestly positioned in terms of IT capabilities, and documentation is often still predominantly paper-based. With the exception of flagship institutions such as some university hospitals and a few privately owned clinics, the majority of German hospitals are still in the early stages of digitalisation-both within the hospital itself and in terms of communication with other parties.

There will be some DiGA that can be prescribed at the time of hospital discharge. These DiGA will focus on the inpatient market, primarily targeting university hospitals and other flagship institutions. The large remainder of hospitals will remain busy with other substantial challenges and are likely to devote themselves to DiGA only over the course of the years ahead.
