Responsible handling of sensitive patient data, optimization of data management processes and efficient management at the same time
The healthcare sector is facing major new challenges in the age of digitalization. To solve them, players need new solutions such as the new Next Generation Document Exchange (NGDX) standard for legally compliant data exchange and more efficient ways of archiving large volumes of data. With NGDX, you can send and receive documents in a legally compliant way and archive them automatically, because NGDX transmits your documents as PDF files that can be read by humans and machines.
NGDX in the healthcare sector
- Interoperability: Sending and receiving documents regardless of the device
- End-to-End-Communication
- The transmission of the document only starts when the receiving device is ready
- The document is submitted in the original, with all formatting, photos, etc.
- Users receive a transmission confirmation including the date and time of transmission
- Hybrid encryption: NGDX uses two encryption methods
- Document exchange is legally compliant and even tamper-proof thanks to the use of hashes
For the benefit of patients
In the emergency room of a hospital. A cyclist has been involved in a car accident. The arm is broken in a more complicated way than the surgeon realizes at first glance. The operation will be more expensive than expected. A second opinion from a colleague who specializes in arm fractures wouldn't hurt either. There is also the question of compensation for pain and suffering. A lot of documents with patient-sensitive information have to be sent quickly and in a legally compliant manner.
NGDX provides the solution. Unlike the eArztbrief, which only doctors can use to communicate with each other, NGDX makes it possible to send sensitive data across all sectors. And to protect the patient's data in the process. This makes it quick and easy to communicate with all parties involved - pharmacies, resident medical doctors or other hospitals, insurance companies and courts or experts. Everyone can network with each other for the benefit of the patient and in a legally secure manner.
How to make NGDX even more secure
Tamper-proof document exchange is achieved through hashes that uniquely identify each file. Even the smallest changes alter the hash value and make tampering immediately visible - for maximum data security.
NGDX is secure and direct
Documents are exchanged directly between sender and receiver (end-to-end). The sending of documents only begins when the receiving device is ready. Once data has been transmitted, the sender receives a transmission confirmation. Documents are exchanged in a legally secure manner using the judicially recognized Ferrari fax procedure.
NGDX works encrypted and unchanged
NGDX combines two methods of encryption - both the document and the transport route are encrypted. This means that no one can manipulate or read documents. NGDX is data protection compliant.
