Roles & responsibilities in the docconnect network

docconnect is based on clearly defined roles. These ensure that professional exchange is structured, responsibilities are clearly defined and consultations can be efficiently coordinated.

Specialty coordinators

Each medical specialty within the platform is supervised by one or more professionally qualified persons. They take on organizational and coordinating tasks and ensure the smooth running of consultations.

Tasks of the specialty coordinators

  • assign incoming consultation requests to the respective specialty
  • organization and coordination of consultations
  • support in scheduling
  • management of user access within the specialty
  • ensuring clear processes and documentation

Specialty coordinators have extended rights in the protected area and act as central contact persons for consulting physicians and colleagues seeking consultation.

Consulting physicians

Consulting physicians contribute their professional expertise to the network on a voluntary basis. They advise on specific medical questions and support colleagues in diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.

Role of consulting physicians

  • professional assessment of individual cases
  • collegial exchange at eye level
  • participation in case discussions according to individual availability

The extent of participation is flexible. Consulting physicians decide themselves when and to what extent they participate.

Clinics as well as individual physicians can use docconnect to request professional support. They contribute specific questions and benefit from the structured exchange within the network.

Their role

  • submission of structured consultation requests
  • provision of relevant medical information

The central administration ensures the technical and organizational framework of the platform.

Tasks of the administration:

  • operation and maintenance of the platform
