Simply apply for the electronic patient file (ePA) from your innovation fund. This is provided to you free of charge. By using the electronic patient file, you always have an overview of your health data. The patient file is your personal digital storage location, like a safe, for which only you have the key. You decide which data you want to add and which people you want to authorize access to. This means that you always have your medical documents to hand for treatment appointments and can share them with the practices and facilities if necessary. The tedious management of paper documents is therefore a thing of the past. The patient file makes your life easier and at the same time relieves the actors in the healthcare system!
