Implementation
To date, numerous portals have been developed based on the JustRelate CX platform; these portals help drive forward the hospital’s digitalization. The handling of sensitive patient data in the portals and the hospital's inter- and intranet required a completely new, seamless security concept. Even the developers and administrators do not have access to this data. For data transmission, the hospital uses an innovative encryption concept that is secured in multiple ways and works with temporary, local passwords.
Result
A new web platform was developed for the patients and physicians at the LMU Hospital. The platform enables online appointment scheduling as well as allowing the bidirectional exchange of patient data between physicians. Overall, digitalization has resulted in simplified processes and has made the hospital’s work easier. The web editors were pleased that no training was required thanks to the platform’s excellent usability and easy content editing. The team can dynamically develop both the platform and portals further, as changes are possible at any time and very easy to implement. This means the hospital is ready and prepared for future developments and technologies. In particular, the team likes the API-driven development and the agile way of working with various applications as it is fun and enables a quick response to any new requirements.
