Access authorizations and protection within and outside the hospital must be set up, managed and documented. The regulations must be recorded in procedural instructions. The IT system must be stable. The amount of data recorded should be as small as possible and the completeness of the data should be as high as possible. The exchange and availability of data should be guaranteed without confusion and over a long period of time. Search and processing times must be shortened. It must be possible to process data into overviews, tables, control charts and tables. Complete documentation must be available for the IT system and kept up to date. In addition to user-friendliness, stability, value for money, etc., the degree of dissemination should also play a role in the selection of the IT system.The hospital's internal information and communication system should be set out in a procedural instruction. The procedures for forwarding information within the hospital - organizationally and patient-related - should be regulated. This includes considerations on how to ensure that the information can be fixed, forwarded, implemented and retrieved. The presentation of information in individual forms, its recording, possibly also via EDP, forwarding and archiving must be clarified. The documentation requirements must be met.
