100 days until the 'EPA for everyone': a step into the digital health future
A milestone in the German healthcare system is imminent! Today the exciting 100-day countdown for the introduction of the "electronic patient file for everyone" starts. This is a know-how that could benefit millions of insured persons! The prominent actors, the Federal Ministry of Health, the GKV Spitzenverband and the General Practitioners Association, go into the future with great expectations and a clear vision.
The chairwoman of the AOK Federal Association, Dr. Carola Reimann, blows into the horn of hope: "With the introduction of the opt-out solution in the coming year, there will be a chance that the electronic patient records will really arrive in care!" That sounds like a small revolution in everyday practice! It emphasizes how important the insured person is to inform about their new digital possibilities. The information about the EPA, data protection and the option to contradict participation are being communicated intensively.
world of data: a new age
A look at the facts: The proportion of AOK insured persons who vote against the creation of your EPA is less than one percent. This gives the AOK team hope that acceptance among the insured will be high. Because the concept has it all! The EPA will offer a safe digital storage facility for health data. End with double inputs and confusion between different doctors and facilities! Networking is promoted, while the highest data protection standards guarantee that the sensitive health data of citizens will remain without unauthorized access.
But the challenge is great! The Reimann message is clear: so that the "EPA for everyone" becomes a complete success, doctors really have to accept them. You must be able to integrate the new technology into your practical processes without stumbling. It is interesting to have a survey commissioned by the AOK: 77 percent of those surveyed are very interested in viewing their health data online! This is an impressive signal!
on for digitization!
Digitization in healthcare is progressing and could be a real game channel. DIEPA will not only make it easier to replace medical information, but also set a modern standard for patient care. "Highest data protection requirements," emphasizes Reimann, should ensure that the personal data remain inviolable. An urgent project that requires a lot of attention and commitment.
By the way: interested parties will find the comprehensive results of the Civey survey of August 2024 on the topic of EPA in the Press and Political Portal of the AOK. Here it becomes clear how hot the wire is on the future of the healthcare system!
Time ticks and the countdown is running! The digital health revolution is imminent. Are you ready to experience your health data in the EPA? It remains exciting!
