KIM: Secure communication in healthcare
What is KIM??
KIM is the official email standard for the Telematics Infrastructure (TI), enabling the secure, end-to-end encrypted exchange of sensitive health data – such as medical letters, reports, or sickness certificates – between practices, clinics, pharmacies, and other stakeholders. NubiSoft’s KIM module enables the deployment of this standardized communication service.
Communicate securely. Provide better care.
