Online availability check of teleradiology components.

Abstract:

:For a region-wide teleradiology network in Germany a vendor-independent Uptime-server concept was defined. The Uptime-server was realized for the availability check and prospective error-detection of the emergency teleradiology servers and clients based on encrypted digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM)-e-mail transfers. The concept and the experiences of 2 years of use with more than 30 clients and servers in 15 hospitals and in nine other regional partners are shown. The Uptime-server does provide automated availability checks for all servers and clients, automated checks of the download speed of the Internet lines, and a graphical user interface for the clinical user and the system administrator. A clinical user can display the availability information from all clients and servers in the network (see http://www.teleradiologie-rnd.de). In case of malfunctions during an emergency transfer, immediate reactions are possible, often without the need for help of a hotline or a system administrator. The chosen Uptime-server concept proofed to be reliable; it worked with products from nine different manufacturers without problems. Its statistical output can be used to fulfill the legal requirements of regular availability checks for teleradiology lines.
