NGDA, HMM Germany and Ubirch develop standardized solution for digital healthcare training certificates

NGDA, HMM Germany and Ubirch are collaborating to develop a standardized solution for digital healthcare credentials. The new service will enable professionals to easily and securely verify their continuing education credentials with a standardized data set supplemented by an associated and verifiable QR code. The certificates can also be forwarded digitally and verified automatically. Counterfeit protection and verifiability are guaranteed by the provision of the Ubirch Trust Platform - known from the Covid19 vaccination certificates in the CovPass app.

The offering addresses not only training participants, but also organizations that need to ensure that certain training and qualification standards are met. The digitally verifiable data record enables automatic further processing. This saves time and resources and also improves the quality of services and products. The system thus represents an efficient and secure solution for the entire industry.

The cooperation partners will each develop an offering for their respective markets: NGDA is planning a pilot application for proof of pharmaceutical continuing education to the chambers of pharmacists. HMM Germany is expanding an existing solution for billing healthcare services in the therapeutic products sector to include the ability to submit and verify digital proof of qualifications. The products will be available in the course of 2023 and, after piloting, will be offered as a standard for all types of training and qualifications in the healthcare sector.
