Digital Monitoring Tool for Prescriptions: Tracks Electronic Prescriptions and ePAs to Monitor Disorders

Gematik, a well-known German institution in the digital health sector, has been praising a new tool developed by Lukas Schmidt-Russnak, an active developer in the healthcare sector. This tool, known as the Telematik-Infrastruktur-Monitoring-Tool (TI Monitoring Tool), is designed to provide a more realistic approximation of daily life for institutions working with the Telematics Infrastructure (TI).

The TI Monitoring Tool offers customizable notification profiles, allowing users to filter relevant components such as VPN access services. This feature is crucial for institutions to stay informed about potential disruptions in their operations.

One of the key advantages of the TI Monitoring Tool is its data archiving capabilities. Unlike the specialist portal, which only displays the last 14 days and the diagram in the portal only shows the last 12 hours, the TI Monitoring Tool permanently archives disruptions. This feature allows for patterns or clusters to become visible and quantifiable for the first time, enabling institutions to make informed decisions based on historical data.

The tool's open-source approach also allows for the use of common statistical tools for evaluation, promoting transparency and objectivity. Gematik has an account on Open CoDE, where the tool could potentially be published, further increasing its accessibility.

The TI Monitoring Tool has already gained significant attention, with over 100 daily accesses from different IP addresses within two weeks. This tool is not meant to point fingers, but rather to ensure traceability and improvements, leading to genuine high availability in the long term.

More transparency, intensified dialogue with TI-using facilities and persons, and clear guidelines for manufacturers are seen as the greatest needs for action. The tool's transparency could promote the stability of the systems and the acceptance of users, ultimately benefiting everyone involved.

It's important to note that while the tool uses Gematik's APIs, SLA evaluations always require careful individual checks. The exact creation date of the TI Monitoring Tool by Lukas Schmidt-Russnak is not specified, but there are currently 40 clones of the tool on GitHub.

In conclusion, the TI Monitoring Tool is a valuable addition to the digital health sector, providing institutions with a comprehensive view of their TI operations and promoting transparency and improvement. Its open-source nature and customizable features make it a versatile tool for various institutions, contributing to the overall stability and acceptance of the TI systems.
