Focus on digital consultation in Demmin: E-patient file and e-recipe!

Treptower Straße 28, 17109 Demmin, Deutschland - On June 7th, an exciting digital consultation hour will take place in the Demmin Impulse office. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., all interested parties can come to Treptower Straße 28 to learn everything about the electronic patient file and the e-recipe. The event was originally planned for June, but had to be postponed due to the disease of the speaker. This consultation hour not only offers free advice, but also valuable support in the field of digitization for the citizens of Demmin.

digitization is an issue in healthcare that is becoming increasingly important. From 2025 it is planned that all legally insured persons will automatically receive an electronic patient file (EPA) unless they actively object. Some private health insurance companies have already taken steps in this direction. The EPA is a crucial step to promote digital networking in healthcare and to optimize communication between medical practices, hospitals and other facilities. This not only enables the safe exchange of information, but also helps to ensure that patient data is provided exactly where they are needed. The health-promoting apps, which are already available on a prescription, are also part of the modernization, which is promoted by the Federal Ministry of Health.

important legislative initiatives for digitization

Digitization in healthcare is supported by a variety of laws that aim to modernize various aspects of health care. In the overview, the following laws should be emphasized:

• e-health law: establishment of a telematics infrastructure.
• Digital Supply Act: Financing health apps by health insurance companies.
• Patient data protection law: enabling the use of digital services such as EPA and e-recipe.
• Hospital Future Act: Promotion of investments in digital technologies.
• Digital care and care moderation law: innovations in the care and expansion of telemedicine.
• Digital law: Support for use and the exchange of health data via EPA.
• Health data use law: Development of health data for research purposes.

Digitization is also considered a key to mastering challenges in healthcare. As the Federal Center for Health Enlightenment, it offers, among other things, the opportunity to accelerate communication and optimize administrative processes. Especially in rural regions, where medical care is often tense, digital solutions can contribute to relief.

The new technologies not only improve access to health care, but also strengthen the role of patients. The independent use of mobile applications promotes the self -confidence of the patients in the treatment process and enables more individual therapy planning. In view of the demographic changes and the increase in chronically ill people, it is essential that health care is adapting and modernizing.
