Error which caused 80,000 German medical practices to lose their connection to telematics infrastructure has been resolved

A configuration error that caused 80,000 German medical practices to lose connection to the telematics system has been resolved. The fault was caused by an incorrect entry in the Trust Service Status List, and on-site visits were required to fix the issue. Gematik, the society for telematics applications, stated that all affected connectors are now back in contact with the system. The incident has provided new insights into preventing and addressing functional failures in the future. Germany has low levels of digitalization in healthcare despite being a large market.
