Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Due to demographic change associated with an increase in patient numbers as well as the existing shortage of medical personnel, the German healthcare system will face a major challenge in patient care. In order to maintain high-quality patient care at a high level, the digitisation of urology should be driven forward promptly and forcefully as digital applications such as online appointment scheduling, video consultations, digital health applications (DiGAs) and others could significantly improve treatment efficiency. The long-planned introduction of the electronic patient record (ePA) will hopefully accelerate this process, and medical online platforms could also become a permanent part of new treatment methods, which could emerge from the urgently needed structural change towards more digital medicine, including questionnaire-based telemedicine. This transformation, which, already today, is urgently needed in the healthcare system, must be demanded and promoted by service providers, but also by policymakers and administration, in order to achieve the positive development of digitisation in (urological) medicine.
