Advantages What are the benefits of the ePA?
The electronic patient file has many advantages. Find out why the ePA is worthwhile for you here.
Why is the ePA so helpful?
Until now, each doctor's practice only had access to the patient file they kept.
With the electronic patient file, all treating medical practices and clinics can access the same data - if you allow it.
You also always have your data to hand. With or without a smartphone. This improves collaboration and treatment.
This is why the ePA is particularly useful:
-
Complete overview: Your health data from various doctors' surgeries, clinics and pharmacies is stored in one central location. This makes it easier for all practitioners to track your medical history.
-
Fewer duplicate examinations: Your practitioners can access the data that is already stored in your ePA. This means you don't have to repeat any examinations.
-
Optimised treatment planning: Doctors know which examinations have already been carried out, what medication you are taking or whether you are allergic to certain substances.
-
For chronic illnesses: If you have diabetes, for example, you can save your blood sugar levels and other relevant data in the ePA. This means that you and your doctors always have the best information to hand.
Security and control over your data:
-
Safe and secure: You store your data securely on a central, well-protected server. Even if your mobile phone is lost, your data remains secure and accessible.
-
Complete control: You decide what you store in your ePA. You can also specify which doctors have access to your data. In the ePA app, you can update, delete or hide information at any time.
Important:
The more relevant data you store, the better your treatment can be customised. You decide what is stored in your file and who is authorised to access it.
