Your Work Area: Systems Engineering
The Systems Engineering department is responsible for the architecture of the technical infrastructure for applications in the German healthcare system. As architects, we design the solution architecture of services and applications for the German healthcare system. Our aim is to make complex technologies easily usable for patients and doctors.
Our tasks range from overarching architectural topics for large distributed systems to expertise in specific technologies up to the methodology and quality assurance of technical concepts. Our applications include electronic patient records, ePrescriptions, the secure communication service KIM, the TI Messenger, and the German Electronic Reporting and Information System for Infection Protection (DEMIS). Throughout the development process, we maintain close contact with the user community.
In addition to supporting the systems already rolled out based on SOAP, IHE XDS.b, WS-Security, smart cards, and IPSec, we work on new solutions based on REST, HL7 FHIR, OpenID Connect and OAuth2, FIDO2, remote signatures, secure private cloud, and zero-trust networking.
