SMITH - Intelligent Medical Information Technology for the Healthcare Sector

In the Medical Informatics Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the university medical sites of Leipzig, Aachen, Jena, Hamburg, Bonn, Essen and Halle are being funded. Their goal is to develop an innovative structure for cross-institutional networking and the exchange of research and health care data between the sites and beyond the consortium, within the framework of the SMITH alliance. The Institute of Infectious Diseases and Infection control is participating in this joint project.
