The system forms the basis for the exchange of information between patients and the treating health professionals, the Federal Public Service of Public Health (BAG) writes in its “Bulletin” on Monday.
Acute hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, psychiatric clinics and birth centers, as well as newly licensed medical practices from 2022 must join the EHR. Pharmacies, general practitioners, Spitex services or physiotherapists can join voluntarily.
The most important information can be requested with the uniform communication channel. According to the BAG, this has several advantages. The national information campaign runs under the motto ‘The EPD works’. It will be aimed at healthcare professionals from the summer and the general public from 2024.
At the end of June, the Federal Council submitted the revision of the law on electronic health records for consultation. The intention is that everyone with basic insurance will receive an electronic file free of charge. If you don’t want that, you have to appeal to the canton. (SDA)
