The DGOOC has more than a decade of expertise in the establishment, operation and management of the German Endoprosthetics Register (EPRD). The EPRD is the second largest medical-scientific registry for hip and knee endoprosthesis implantations with more than a quarter of a million surgeries documented each year. The defining feature of the EPRD is its secure, self-developed data trust center or “data custodian” which enables separate technical and organizational processing of patient identities as well as patient data. This is the only approach that meets the high data protection requirements for the processing of clinical data. The data trust center also forms the basis for cross-clinical research.
In order to realize the cooperation with Brainlab, the register technology – in particular the data trust center – has been outsourced to RSG. Together, Mint Medical and RSG intend to advance Data Trust Center software to record and evaluate other important clinical parameters, such as patient images. Both organizations also aim to simplify the collection of relevant data on orthopedic procedures.
“Over the past few years, Brainlab has worked intensively on implementing a scalable ledger infrastructure that complies with German data protection requirements, some of the strictest privacy safeguards in the world,” said Stefan Vilsmeier, CEO and President of Brainlab. “The RSG Data Trust Center is the final piece of the puzzle that now allows us to collect healthcare data from clinics in a structured and secure way. By making this technology available to as many healthcare stakeholders as possible health, we can contribute to better patient care in an aging society.
Matthias Baumhauer, Managing Director of Mint Medical, added: “Today, the Mint Medical software for research with health data is already in use in all 38 German university hospitals as part of the University Medicine Network RACOON project. This project registers and categorizes medical imaging and others Through the partnership with RSG, we can now expand our registry offering and securely correlate patient data in hospitals and throughout patient treatment while maintaining strict data protection criteria.
Teacher. Dr. Bernd Kladny, Secretary General of the DGOOC: “With the RSG, other medical-scientific societies can now also benefit from our years of expertise in establishing and operating registers. The cooperation with Brainlab adds an another layer of expertise to the collection and analysis of patient data.
The teacher. Dr. Carsten Perka, spokesperson for the EPRD Executive Committee, underlined the importance for the research sector: “The continuous improvement of the use of medical data to optimize patient care remains a subject of major importance. This requires a high level of data security, which is ensured by our EPRD data trust center, the integration of X-ray images as well as the constant improvement of automated data entry and analysis options. In collaboration with our partner, I look forward to the continued evaluation of medical data from several clinics. “
