With the All-Inclusive Service Package to the TI

Using VPN (Virtual Private Network) access, a secure connection to the telematics infrastructure is established via the so-called connector. Providers of the VPN access service must be gematik-certified. Of course, Arvato Systems, together with its partners, fulfills this requirement as part of the “Mein Zugangsdienst” service package.

The costs are covered under the financing agreement between the GKV Spitzenverband, the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung (KBV), and the German Hospital Association (DKHG). Please contact your responsible organization for further questions.

The telematics infrastructure (TI) is the digital network of the German healthcare system. The term telematics is composed of the terms’ telecommunications and information technology. With the IT infrastructure used for this purpose, the TI forms a closed network that is intended to enable the digital and secure exchange of health-related data between all players in the healthcare system while complying with the highest data protection standards. It also provides the platform for digital health applications such as the eRezept (e-prescription) and the eAU (electronic certificate of incapacity for work).

The eHBA (electronic health professional card) is a card for medical professionals that enables secure access to the telematics infrastructure, or TI for short. With the help of the eHBA, the staff can access the data of the electronic health card of insured persons. In addition, it is possible to process various applications, such as the electronic medication plan, and to provide a qualified electronic signature with a time stamp. Access to the TI applications depends on the occupational group, but the ID card remains valid even if a person changes jobs, as it is personal. The eHBA can be issued in different types of ID cards, including the electronic dentist or pharmacist ID card.
 

The application for an eHBA can only be made through approved providers. To apply, you must complete a five-step process, which you can view here.
