Typical challenges in hospital communication

Hospitals today operate in a highly complex environment that demands medical precision, organizational efficiency, and robust technical security. Every day, countless pieces of information must be transmitted, prioritized, and documented within seconds.

Fragmented communication slows critical processes
Departments, emergency rooms, operating theaters, nursing units, administration, and technical services often use separate systems. In time-critical situations such as emergencies, surgical preparations, patient transfers, or ward moves, that fragmentation can cost precious minutes.
Strict security and data protection requirements
Hospitals must comply not only with the GDPR but also with national and EU-wide regulations such as the Hospital Future Act (KHZG), the NIS-2 Directive, and the IT Security Act. These impose complex technical and organizational obligations designed to safeguard patient data and critical infrastructure.
Rising cyber threats
At the same time, cyberattacks on hospital infrastructure are increasing dramatically. Ransomware incidents, system outages, and data breaches threaten not only IT systems but also patient safety and the continuity of care.
Shadow IT and insecure workarounds
When communication needs to happen faster than rigid systems allow, many employees turn to tools like WhatsApp — simply because they work. But this convenience comes at a price: data protection violations, lack of traceability, and zero control over sensitive information for hospital management.

“Simple and secure communication via Teamwire has greatly improved our business communication. The WhatsApp issue is a thing of the past — we now communicate quickly and securely, exactly what’s needed in healthcare.”

Why Teamwire is the best messenger for hospitals

Maximum security for patient data and clinical operations

100% GDPR-, KHZG-, and NIS-2-compliant hospital communication

In hospitals, data protection is critical on two levels: for sensitive patient information and for the IT systems that keep operations running. Teamwire safeguards both — with full data sovereignty, modern encryption, and a security architecture built specifically for healthcare environments.

Complete data sovereignty

Maintain full control over patient and internal hospital data. Decide where it’s stored and who can access it. All data is hosted exclusively on German servers — with guaranteed protection from third-party access.

Strong encryption and zero-trust architecture

Teamwire protects all messages, metadata, and files using both transport and payload encryption. Based on a zero-trust security model, every device and user is verified before access is granted — ensuring maximum system integrity.

Privacy by design and by default

No tracking, no metadata analysis, no address book access. Teamwire is built from the ground up to protect sensitive health and personnel data — automatically and by default.

Policy-based data retention

Define exactly how long messages and media files are stored. Automated deletion routines help you comply with internal documentation and retention policies with ease.

Certified security

Teamwire is ISO 27001-certified annually, and its hosting partners are BSI C5–audited. This ensures hospitals benefit from a communication platform that demonstrably meets all GDPR, KHZG, and NIS-2 requirements.

Sovereign and resilient infrastructure for hospital operations

Stay connected – even during IT outages or cyberattacks

In healthcare, every minute counts. When IT systems or hospital networks go down, Teamwire remains fully operational as a secure communication platform — independent of central servers or external cloud services. This ensures that doctors, nurses, and administrative staff can continue to act and coordinate effectively, even in emergency situations.

Sovereign Hosting – On-Premises, Private Cloud, or Public Cloud

Choose where to run Teamwire: in your own data center or within certified German cloud environments. All hosting options are ISO 27001 and BSI C5 certified and fully compliant with KHZG and GDPR requirements.

Scalable Architecture for Hospitals of Any Size

Whether you’re a university hospital or a regional clinic, Teamwire scales flexibly to meet your needs — even across multiple locations.

Maximum Availability for Mission-Critical Processes

Teamwire is purpose-built for mission-critical environments. Cluster servers ensure exceptional system resilience and provide a stable foundation for communication — even in the event of system failures or network disruptions.

Regular Backups and Automatic Failover

Continuous backups protect your data, while automatic server switching ensures communication continuity if an outage occurs.

Full Access Control and IT Independence

System, API, and data access remain entirely under your control — with no dependency on U.S.-based services or third-party providers. You retain full sovereignty over your data and communication infrastructure.

Quick response during emergencies and IT outages

Powerful emergency features for critical situations in daily hospital operations

Whether it’s a medical emergency, a system failure, or a major incident — Teamwire ensures your hospital remains fully operational at all times. With purpose-built emergency features, doctors, nurses, and administrators can communicate quickly and securely, even under intense pressure.

Emergency alert and panic button

A patient in distress? An emergency on the ward? Trigger an alert with a single tap — instantly overriding any active mute settings. The panic button automatically transmits the initiator’s location and a voice message, enabling teams to respond immediately and coordinate assistance precisely.

Live locations for rapid response coordination

See in real time where your colleagues are — whether in the emergency department, the operating room, or on the ward. A live map displays all shared positions, allowing teams to coordinate efficiently and save valuable time.

Push-to-Talk and broadcast

Use Push-to-Talk (PTT) to send voice messages that play automatically within a selected chat. Broadcasts let you deliver urgent updates to hundreds of recipients at once — ideal for reaching all hospital staff with a single tap.

This ensures information flows faster, more securely, and more transparently between wards, operating rooms, emergency departments, and administrative units — across all devices and in real time.

Secure sharing of digital content

Share photos, videos, and documents directly with colleagues — such as lab results, wound documentation, or medical reports. All data transmissions are encrypted and stay entirely within your hospital’s IT infrastructure.

Edit images and files directly

Highlight relevant areas, add notes, or anonymize patient data — all directly within the app. This ensures full data protection while keeping communication precise and efficient.

Quick coordination through surveys

Coordinate shift changes, availabilities, or meeting times with just a few clicks. Results appear instantly in the chat, enabling teams to make quick, informed decisions amid the fast pace of hospital operations.

Live locations for better coordination

Additional powerful features that elevate hospital communication to the next level

Read receipts and delivery reports

Instantly see who has read your messages — visible to everyone in a group chat. Ideal for handovers, emergencies, or ward coordination to ensure no critical information is overlooked.

@Mentions for targeted communication

Draw colleagues’ attention to urgent messages — for example, during emergencies, transport requests, or surgical coordination. @Mentions override mute settings to ensure that critical information always reaches the right people.

Pinned messages

Pin up to five key messages — such as emergency contacts, procedures, or current instructions — at the top of a chat. This keeps essential information visible at all times — even in high-volume chats.

Easy map editing

Highlight up to ten key points (“Points of Interest”) on digital hospital maps — such as emergency rooms, ambulance access points, or evacuation routes. With integrated third-party mapping tools like ArcGIS (ESRI), you maintain clear situational awareness even during large-scale incidents.

Data minimization

Teamwire processes only the data strictly required for secure operation — fully aligned with hospital data protection standards and GDPR compliance.

Powerful integrations

Teamwire offers SDKs and APIs for seamless integration with third-party systems and services.

Organizational directory designed for hospitals
