Abstract: A system and method to plan medical diagnosis and/or therapy procedures is provided.

Abstract: A method for the processing of data which are stored in at least one database in at least partially encrypted form, in which case the data can be read by a user communicating with the database via a communications link and, if necessary, new data can be stored, in which case the data are decrypted and/or encrypted exclusively by the user using a key which is stored in a central further database and can be transmitted exclusively to the authorized user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automated monitoring of the service quality of at least one person (P1-P8), recording and/or evaluating medical data sets as part of a telemedicine healthcare service. The invention also relates to a method for automated monitoring of the service quality of the person (P1-P8) recording and/or evaluating the medical data sets. The number of medical data sets received and/or evaluated by the person (P1-P8) per time unit or data characterizing the quality of the recordings and/or evaluation of the medical data sets are determined. The number of medical data sets received and/or evaluated by the person P1-P8) and/or the data characterizing the quality of the recordings and/or evaluation is/are compared with predetermined data and the service quantity and/or service quality of person (P1-P8) receiving and/or evaluating the data is calculated.

Abstract: A computer-aided method is for documenting a medically insignificant finding. By way of example, a display device on the computer system is used to display an electronic form suitable for the documentation to a doctor. The doctor then need activate only a single input element on the computer system, so that the activated input element is used to complete the electronic form automatically using prescribed data which are stored on the computer system and associated with an insignificant medical finding. A computer-aided method is also for documenting a medical finding. For this method, a display device on a computer system is used to display an electronic form suitable for the documentation to the doctor, for example. When the electronic form has been completed using data associated with the medical finding, a single input element on the computer system is activated, and the activated input element automatically prompts performance of at least one action by the computer system.

Abstract: In a method for determining a data-compression method from a set of data-compression methods for data compression of an image dataset allocated to an image, the image dataset is data-compressed at a first location, the data-compressed image dataset is transmitted via an information transmission network to a second location, and the data-compression methods from among the set of data-compression methods exhibit different compression factors, dependent on one or more criteria.

Abstract: In a method for a data processing facility to control and monitor the process sequence of a telemedical healthcare service which is to be provided. On the basis of at least one criterion, a service facility available for providing a particular subsidiary service of the healthcare service is automatically instructed by the central data processing facility to provide the particular subsidiary service. The central data processing facility then monitors whether the respective subsidiary service is provided and transmitted to the central data processing facility by the instructed service facility in good time on the basis of a time stipulation, and/or whether the respective subsidiary service provided satisfies a quality stipulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for checking whether a contract on a telemedical healthcare service can be effected between a service provider of the telemedical healthcare service and a customer. In the course of the method, a data processing device (4) of an agent undertakes inquiries with a customer in relation to a telemedical healthcare service. Thereupon, the data processing device (4) makes contact with a first database (5), which includes information on service offers from service providers of telemedical healthcare services, and checks whether a substantially corresponding service offer of a service provider can be assigned to the inquiry.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a system for ascertaining a suitable institution for making a medical assessment on the basis of a medical data record of a patient.
