title: [Virtual workshop for hospital management].
abstract: Due to a survey of the CKM insufficient communication among different professional groups is one of the main causes for unused quality reserves and neglected potentials of efficiency in German hospitals. An essential reason for this insufficiency lies in the traditional concepts of education which are designed for the specialties of the different professional groups. With this these concepts only impart key qualifications such as social authority, ability for communication and ability for problem-solving in a small amount. The goal of the virtual workshop is to train students and trainees in communication and interdisciplinary problem-solving early by working together on a practical case in a Virtual Workshop team. On the other hand all relevant persons to talk to are involved in order to support a qualified preparation of decisions: employees of the project hospital, partners from industry and members of universities.
