What is the TMD Cloud for hospitals?
With the TMD Cloud you can rely on image management that is tailored to the needs of clinics down to the last detail. Decide how you want to use the flexibly combinable components in your organisation:
- Cloud PACS: For flexible access to the central image archive.
- Vendor-neutral long-term archive (VNA): Fulfils all compliance requirements for KRITIS houses.
- Patient portal incl. cloud-based QR code software:Business Continuity Management: Enables the simple sharing of DICOM data.
- Business Continuity Management: Image access during cyber attacks or IT failures
NIS-2: Cyber security is now mandatory - for your home too
The EU NIS-2 Directive now also requires medium-sized and smaller hospitals to implement enhanced cyber security measures:
- Protection against system failures and cyber attacks
- BCM concept incl. recovery plan
- Verifiable immediate access to image data in the event of a complete local failure
- Data protection including cryptography and encryption
The TMD Cloud fulfils all these requirements - C5-tested, ISO 27001-certified, GDPR-compliant.
The KHVVG promotes the switch to the cloud - for every level of care
Whether you are a primary or maximum care provider, the development of a future-proof cloud infrastructure is eligible for funding under the KHVVG for every level of care. This applies to image archiving as well as telemedicine applications, digital workflows and the IT infrastructure for networked patient care.
With the TMD Cloud, you can cover several KHVVG eligibility criteria at once - from secure cloud archiving to telemedical applications such as cross-location image access for background services.
Sovereign cloud: How data sovereignty works at Telepaxx
One of the most frequently asked questions by IT managers: Who actually has access to our patient data when we go into the cloud? Our answer: You retain full data sovereignty because you use rights management to define which persons and administrators have access to which data.
In order to achieve sovereignty, it is not only crucial where the data is located, but also who has control over it. And in the case of the TMD Cloud, that is you.
Telepaxx's TMD Cloud is based on established cloud technologies such as the German cloud provider StackIT and the high-performance infrastructure of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Data sovereignty with the TMD Cloud:
- Encrypted data storage in the cloud
- Storage of metadata and keys with German infrastructure partners
- Multi-stage encryption process developed by Telepaxx
- Tested cloud solution (BSI C5, ISO 27001)
- Manufacturer-neutral data storage for retrieval via various software applications (e.g. PACS, RIS, HIS)
„Sovereignty means control, not isolation. Data sovereignty in hospitals does not require the abandonment of cutting-edge global technologies, but rather absolute sovereignty over sensitive patient data. With the TMD Cloud, we combine global innovative strength with the strictest German data protection.“
Tobias Anger, Managing Director (CEO) Telepaxx Medical Data GmbH
FAQ: Image data management with the TMD Cloud
The TMD Cloud is a cloud-based platform for medical image data management. It securely archives DICOM data and findings in German data centres - scalable as required and accessible to authorised personnel and patients at any time.
The TMD Cloud has three key strengths:
- It can be used flexibly as a long-term archive, cloud PACS or patient portal and is therefore suitable for any institution.
- Cloud storage and range of functions grow with your needs and are ready for use at short notice.
- It fulfils all current security and data protection requirements - including the legal obligations for critical infrastructure hospitals (KRITIS).
The TMD Cloud is suitable for hospitals of all sizes and care levels - from regional clinics and full-service providers to university hospitals and hospital groups. Thanks to its modular concept and scalable archive storage, the TMD Cloud can be customised to the requirements of your facility.
The TMD Cloud stores medical image data in DICOM format - including X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound images. Non-DICOM documents such as PDF reports can also be integrated so that all relevant patient images and documents are centrally accessible.
The long-term archive of the TMD Cloud is software-neutral (VNA) and therefore compatible with any standard PACS, RIS or HIS. Even if you switch systems, you retain access to your image data at all times without data migration. As an SaaS solution, the TMD Cloud also takes the strain off your IT: Telepaxx takes care of operating the archive infrastructure and updates.
The TMD Cloud can replace local image archives and PACS systems. However, it can also be used in combination with these - for example as a safeguard in the event of cyber attacks or IT failures of any kind. Compatibility with all common medical image management systems makes migration uncomplicated.
No. You can continue to work with your usual PACS, RIS or HIS and archive image data in the TMD Cloud as well as access your images web-based via the TMD Cloud image portal. However, if a PACS change is required at a later date, this is also not a problem. The TMD Cloud is manufacturer-independent and compatible with over 30 common PACS systems.
All patient data is stored in German high-security data centres that are BSI C5 and ISO 27001 certified. The transmission of image data is encrypted. In addition, Telepaxx concludes an order processing contract (AVV) with each of its customers and fulfils all data protection requirements - including for KRITIS-relevant facilities.
As Software-as-a-Service, the TMD Cloud is ready for use in just a few weeks. Telepaxx takes care of most of the integration work - including the migration of legacy data. Your IT department has hardly any work to do and is supported by our implementation team. As a rule, you can archive newly generated image data in the cloud shortly after signing the contract and retrieve it from there.
The costs depend on the storage volume, number of users and scope of services. Hospitals pay a monthly usage fee - without high investment costs for hardware or maintenance of local servers. Telepaxx will be happy to provide you with a customised offer for your facility on request. Enquire now
Data volumes in hospitals are growing rapidly - especially due to increasingly professionalised tomograms. With the free DICOM archive calculator from Telepaxx, you can get an approximate value in just a few clicks of how large your image archive is today and how your storage requirements are likely to develop over the next five years.
