Patient portal for clinics & healthcare facilities
We develop individual patient portals for clinics, MVZs, medical practices and health insurance companies: with online appointment booking, digital access to findings and secure communication, seamlessly integrated into your HIS and TI infrastructure.
Every appointment request by telephone is a burden on your reception desk - and costs you money.
Appointment bookings by telephone. Findings by post. Medical history forms still on paper in the waiting room. What is impractical for your patients also ties up valuable capacities of your practice team. Yet most of this could be solved digitally: around the clock, without telephone waiting loops, without administrative effort.
This is exactly where a well-developed patient portal comes in. Healthcare facilities that consistently expand digital self-service offerings noticeably reduce the workload of their employees, measurably improve patient satisfaction and are optimally prepared for the requirements of the telematics infrastructure.
76% of patients want fully digital communication with their healthcare facility.
prodot - Your development partner for patient portals in the healthcare sector
Over 25 years of experience in portal development
We have been developing customized software solutions for complex, regulated industries for more than two decades. Patient portals for the healthcare sector - with their specific requirements for data protection, telematics infrastructure and system integration - are part of our core business.
Industry knowledge meets technical excellence
A patient portal for the healthcare sector is not standard software. It needs to talk to your hospital information system, be TI-compliant and GDPR-compliant and still be intuitive for patients to use. This is precisely why we develop customized solutions.
From conception to productive operation
We accompany you through the entire development process: from requirements analysis and UX design to technical implementation and integration through to go-live and ongoing further development. You don't get a black box, but full transparency.
What your patient portal should be able to do
Online appointment booking & management
Patients can book, reschedule or cancel appointments themselves around the clock: directly from the portal, synchronized with your calendar. This relieves the reception desk considerably.
Findings & doctor's letters digitally
Laboratory results, doctor's letters and imaging are securely made available in the portal and can be accessed by patients at any time: no need to send them by post or make a phone call.
Digital anamnesis & consent forms
Patients fill out medical history forms and consent forms digitally before their appointment. This saves time in the waiting room and delivers structured data directly to the HIS.
Prescription & referral management
Patients apply for follow-up prescriptions and referrals digitally via the portal. The status is transparent, communication is documented and the process is considerably more efficient.
ePA & TI integration
We integrate your patient portal into the telematics infrastructure: ePA access, electronic patient file and KIM communication included. This means you are ideally positioned for digital healthcare.
Secure patient-doctor communication
Patients submit queries via an encrypted message channel in the portal: GDPR-compliant, documented and without a detour via the telephone hotline.
The concrete benefits of a patient portal for your healthcare facility
The digitalization of patient communication is a strategic priority in the healthcare sector. Clinics and practices that consistently expand self-service for patients can reduce their administrative workload by up to 35% and increase patient satisfaction at the same time. (Deloitte Health Consumer Survey 2024)
A well-designed patient portal delivers concrete, measurable results:
-
Less telephone work: patients handle appointment bookings, prescription requests and call-offs of findings themselves.
-
Shorter waiting times: Medical history forms completed in advance speed up treatment at the appointment.
-
Better data quality: Structured digital entries provide more complete and up-to-date patient data.
-
Greater patient loyalty: Convenient digital services boost trust and encourage return rates.
-
TI compliance: Seamless integration into the telematics infrastructure ensures compliance with legal requirements.
Technically sophisticated - seamlessly integrated into your system landscape
A patient portal for the healthcare sector does not stand alone. It must communicate reliably with your existing IT infrastructure. We integrate your portal into:
-
Hospital information systems (including SAP IS-H, Orbis, Dedalus, iMedOne)
-
Practice management software (e.g. M1, Medatixx, CGM)
-
Telematics infrastructure (ePA, KIM, TI-Messenger)
-
Laboratory and imaging systems (LIS, RIS, PACS)
-
Active Directory / Azure AD for single sign-on
Our portals are built on Azure infrastructure, GDPR-compliant, highly available and audit-proof. Data protection is not an afterthought, but part of the architecture.

Questions & Answers
-
What is a patient portal for the healthcare sector?
A patient portal for the healthcare sector is a web-based or app-supported platform that patients can use to deal with typical administrative matters independently: Booking appointments, retrieving findings, filling out medical history forms and communicating with the facility. When implemented well, it noticeably relieves your practice team and at the same time improves the patient experience in the long term.
-
How long does it take to develop a customized customer portal?
This depends on the range of functions and the integration effort. We typically calculate 3 to 6 months for an initial productive basic portal with the core functions. We take a modular approach: you start with what is most urgently needed and expand the portal step by step.
-
Can the portal be integrated into our hospital information system?
Yes, we have experience with the common HIS and PVS systems in the healthcare sector and develop the necessary interfaces individually. We work closely with your IT team and the system manufacturers to ensure secure and stable data exchange.
-
How do we ensure GDPR compliance?
Data protection is built into every portal architecture from the outset - no afterthought. We rely on role-based access concepts, encrypted data transmission, auditable logging and hosting in German data centers. On request, we can also assist you with a data protection impact assessment.
-
What is the difference between a customized portal and a standard solution?
Standard portals are often implemented quickly, but reach their limits when it comes to specific integration requirements, unusual tariff systems or complex workflow requirements. An individually developed portal adapts exactly to your processes - without compromising on functionality, design or scalability.
