The telematics infrastructure aims to be the most secure electronic communication network in the history of the German healthcare system. This platform for electronic communication simplifies the exchange of information between networked stakeholders (physicians, dentists, psychotherapists, and other healthcare professionals). All those involved in patient care can benefit equally, and data security and privacy in the healthcare sector are fundamentally improved.

Other advantages of the telematics infrastructure include:

  • The establishment of a digital directory that enables comprehensive communication between all connected institutions and their organizations.
  • Facilitating supply across different institutions and sectors, as well as avoiding IT silos and media breaks.
  • The widespread availability of patient applications such as electronic emergency data management or electronic medication plans. This information can also improve targeted diagnostics and therapy for patients with unknown histories.
  • The introduction of uniform standards for data security and data protection, in addition to official certification of all technical components used (e.g., eGK card terminals) by public testing bodies. This will maximize legal certainty for all users and increase patients' trust in the electronic transmission of their sensitive data.
