More about the project

Increase of therapy safety and digital availability of patient information

Miners established the first miner’s association for protection of their families 750 years ago. The Deutsche Rentenversicherung Knappschaft Bahn-See (KBS) [German pension insurance for Knappschaft Bahn-See (KBS)] also follows this tradition today: KNAPPSCHAFT belongs to this group as medical insurance with 1.6 million insured persons and a separate medical competence network, which includes around 1,500 doctors as well as participation of clinics and hospitals and rehabilitation clinics. With the re-development of a web-based platform, electronic treatment information (eBI), KNAPPSCHAFT laid a new foundation for the collaboration in the group with the help of Telekom MMS. They not only acquired modern know-how for internal web development, but also gathered valuable experience with agile methods such as Scrum.

Requirements

Requirements

Develop platform in agile manner and operate autonomously

KNAPPSCHAFT was based on individual solution “elektronische Behandlungsinformation” [electronic treatment information] (eBI) long ago, which has been developed by an external service provider. More the eBI focused on a central system for the collaboration with different service provisions nationwide, like some clinics, more has been the importance for KNAPPSCHAFT, to be able to operate and support eBI autonomously.

Thus, the objective was the re-development of a web-based platform with uniform handling information. At the beginning of the project, KNAPPSCHAFT neither had technology know-how for modern web-based application development nor experience with methods for agile software development, for example Scrum. KNAPPSCHAFT wished to implement this know-how transfer during the joint projects with Telekom MMS.

Solution

Web-based platform „Electronic treatment information“

With personnel, technical and methodic support of Telekom MMS, KNAPPSCHAFT developed a new web-based platform for eBI. Now it has know-how about web-based development and agile methods.

Telekom MMS also supported KNAPPSCHAFT in the planning of operation platform for the new solution and for developing a connector, which connects it with the hospital IT.

Benefits

More therapeutic safety for patients

KNAPPSCHAFT currently has a web-based solution, which delivers uniform treatment data to their partners. The information includes prescribed medicines, long-term diseases, treatments or hospitalizations as well as contact data of the attending doctor.

Besides the medical history of their patients on the basis of routine data, eBI also provides policies for process and therapeutic optimization in digital form. This new service for medical facilities significantly increases the therapeutic safety and saves long investigations. Apart from hospitals, also the registered doctors should be connected to the IT solution.
