Welcome to eHealth Infrastructure, the Danish national infrastructure for telemedicine (eHealth)

Introduction

The eHealth ecosystem enables citizens to benefit from healthcare delivery and/or social (care) delivery outside the usual settings, for instance, at home/residence. By entering a telemedicine program, a citizen can get suitable equipment and follow a tailored plan for when to perform what measurements/answer questionnaires. By submitting these measurements, teams of providers (healthcare providers, social professionals, etc.) can monitor and react when necessary.

Open

A central part of the eHealth ecosystem is the eHealth Infrastructure, which provides services for making telemedicine plans, ordering equipment/training, submitting measurements, monitoring measurements, etc.

This documentation is mostly about the eHealth Infrastructure. The documentation is structured into the following spaces:

• Technical Space - containing descriptions of the eHealth Infrastructure architecture, APIs, security, testing, environments and more. This space is intended for anyone interested in the technical aspects, for instance, architects, developers, operators, and testers.

• Operational Space - containing details on service availability, service windows and other operational aspects

• User Space - containing user manuals for eHealth Infrastructure end-user applications.

• KL Gateway Space - containing descriptions for the FK Gateway. The FK Gateway uses the same infrastructure and platform, but is deployed in separate environments

Intended Audience

This documentation for the eHealth Infrastructure is designed to serve a diverse set of stakeholders involved in the delivery, operation, development, and use of telemedicine solutions within the Danish national eHealth ecosystem. Each group of users will find relevant content tailored to their specific needs, roles, and responsibilities.

• Solution Providers and System Integrators (Technical Professionals)
  Third-party vendors, solution developers, and integration partners developing telemedicine applications or integrating external systems with the eHealth Infrastructure will find the Technical Space especially relevant. This includes solution architects, developers, system integrators, testers, and IT operators. The Technical Space provides comprehensive details about system architecture, APIs, guidance on how to interact with system APIs, data models, interfaces, security mechanisms, and provides tools and environments.

• System Administrators
  These are system administrators in the municipalities and regions, but also external parties like SEB, who need to configure eHealth roles, and Careteam in their identity management systems (IdP) or KOMBIT's “Fælleskommunalt Administrationsmodul“

• End-Users
  This includes healthcare professionals and administrators who use the eHealth Infrastructure’s applications directly. The User Space contains user-friendly manuals and guides to help them navigate and operate the interfaces provided by the infrastructure and terminology governance tools.

• Security and Compliance Professionals
  This includes security architects, data protection officers, and compliance auditors. They are the primary audience for the Security Documentation, which outlines the security model, including authentication, authorisation, data protection, federated login, and DPIA/PIA-related materials. This documentation supports compliance with regulatory and governance requirements.
