Electronic data transmission is mandatory for all medical laboratories. The aim is to relieve public health departments and speed up the flow of information. But how does DEMIS reporting (German Electronic Reporting and Information System for Infection Protection) work and how does Mesalvo support you? What developments have occurred since the launch of DEMIS 2.0 on January 1, 2022? Find out more in the web seminar!
Since January 1, 2022, the data for DEMIS reporting of pathogens according to §7 of the German Infection Protection Act (IfSG) must be electronically transmitted to public health departments and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
Since then, DEMIS has released new guidelines and profiles to which reporting from LabCentre had to be adapted.
You shouldn’t miss this event if:
You already use the reporting system and transmission to DEMIS from LabCentre and would like to know how the reporting has evolved since January 1, 2022.
All new DEMIS requirements for electronic reporting under §7 IfSG at a glance:
- Transmission of lab tests from the Value Sets (Implementation Guide)
- Scaling (nominal, ordinal, quantitative)
- Coding of results (LOINC or SNOMED)
- Pathogens as SNOMED (Answer Sets, Implementation Guide)
Extensions of reports to include:
- RSV
- Plasmodia
- Enterobacterales and Acinetobacter spp. with reduced sensitivity to carbapenems or carbapenemase detection
- State-specific reports
New information from DEMIS:
- Implementation Guide for DEMIS Lab Reports
- DEMIS – Knowledge Base
Web seminar dates for DEMIS in the laboratory
- November 16, 2023 from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
- December 6, 2023 from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Both sessions follow the same structure. The solution will be presented, and the remaining time is reserved for questions.
