English translation:is of high importance in a far-sighted EDP concept
Explanation:
Stellenwert: position in a number, the higher, the better. The same zero that turns 10,000 into 100,000 will turn 100,000 into 1 Million.

Zentrale Bedeutung

Assume a central position ...


Explanation:
Assume a central position in the forward-thinking (future-oriented?) IT concept of Burgenland hospitals.

Stellenwert = Stellung? perhaps an Austrianism

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree Kathryn Partlan: "frward-thinking" sounds most natural to me, and of course it's IT and not EDP (at least in AE).
1 hr

disagree John Kinory: Forward-looking maybe; forward-thinking? not sure about that. And there is no 'of course' about it (a risky phrase to use in this business!): IT is not the same as data processing. IT covers a lot more than DP.

to be assigned central importance/value/emphasis...


Explanation:
.. in the future-oriented electronic data-processing (or: EDP, DP) concept of the Burgenland hospitals.

Stellenwert - literally 'place value' (borrowed from maths; not an Austrianism, AFAIK); i.e. figuratively 'importance' etc.

Play a central role in the future-oriented EDP concept of B. health facilities


Explanation:
The context (ie. this sounds like a bullet-point since it is not a complete sentence) makes me think that 'central role' is a good bet, as they are trying to market a concept. All the best- Holly

'Central postition'.... 'future-oriented'


Explanation:
First of all 'far-sighted' is incorrect. Farsighted is the opposite of nearsighted and is not used in English in this context.
Secondly, I think you are not giving 'zentraler Stellenwert' the 'central' attention it demands, ie. 'high' is not enough.
