Initial Situation<\/h2><\/div>

For a long time, electronic patient records were primarily operated within the local IT infrastructure of practices and clinics. ndd devices could be connected via existing interfaces, but this always required on-site IT personnel. With the increasing shift of patient records to the cloud, ndd needed a new way to securely transfer measurement data directly to platforms like athenaOne without individual on-site integration. <\/p>\n<\/div>

SCS’s Contribution<\/h2><\/div>

SCS developed a central platform for ndd on Microsoft Azure that connects existing spirometry devices with various cloud-based EHR platforms and handles the secure exchange of measurement data.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Cloud-to-Cloud Connected<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

The platform centrally connects ndd devices with EHR platforms. This eliminates the need for individual technical connection of each device by on-site IT personnel. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Measurement Data Directly Adopted<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

For platforms like athenaOne, the ndd cloud is considered a trusted data source. This allows transmitted measurement values to be directly incorporated as entries into the electronic patient record. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Users Centrally Managed<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

IT administrators of healthcare facilities manage their users independently via a web application. Identity management was implemented using Azure AD B2C. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Secure and Audit-Proof<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

All transactions are documented in an audit log protected against alteration. At the same time, the platform meets the cybersecurity requirements of the connected EHR providers. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Result<\/h2><\/div>

With the cloud platform, ndd can connect existing devices to cloud-based patient records without individual on-site installation. A software update is sufficient, after which the devices can be integrated into the operations of healthcare facilities using a plug-and-play process. This made cloud connectivity accessible to all healthcare facilities that manage their patient administration via supported cloud platforms. For ndd, this resulted in a concrete competitive advantage and access to new customers. The platform can also be expanded to include additional EHR providers. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Plug and Play<\/h3><\/div>

Existing devices integrable via software update, without on-site IT personnel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cloud-to-Cloud<\/h3><\/div>

Direct data exchange with EHR platforms like athenaOne.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Measurable Revenue<\/h3><\/div>

New customers for ndd through cloud connectivity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
