AI/Computing at scale is a difficult problem, especially in a health care setting. We outline the requirements, planning and implementation choices as well as the guiding principles that led to the implementation of our secure research computing enclave, the Essen Medical Computing Platform (EMCP), affiliated with a major German hospital. Compliance, data privacy and usability were the immutable requirements of the system. We will discuss the features of our computing enclave and we will provide our recipe for groups wishing to adopt a similar setup.
