Electronic Health Records (ePA):<\/strong>\u00a0From January 2025, the electronic health record (ePA) will be introduced for all legally insured persons, with an opt-out option. A corresponding ePA will also be offered to privately insured individuals on an appeal basis by private health insurance companies.<\/p>\n Digital Medication Overview:<\/strong>\u00a0The introduction of the ePA provides insured persons with a comprehensive digital medication overview, generated automatically. This supports physicians in avoiding adverse drug interactions and optimizes treatment processes.<\/p>\n E-Prescription:<\/strong>\u00a0The e-prescription is standardized and established as an integral part of medication supply. Additional access is available via the ePA app.<\/p>\n Digital Health Application (DiGA):<\/strong>\u00a0Digital health applications (DiGA) are increasingly being integrated into care processes, with greater transparency in their use. The expansion of DiGA to include digital medical devices in risk class IIb enables their use in more advanced treatments, such as telemonitoring.<\/p>\n Telemedicine:<\/strong>\u00a0To establish telemedicine more firmly in the healthcare system, quantity restrictions are being removed. Assisted telemedicine will also enable easier access to care. University outpatient clinics, psychiatric outpatient clinics, and psychotherapeutic consultations can now offer telemedical services.\u200d<\/strong><\/p>\n Digital Advisory Board:<\/strong>\u00a0A Digital Advisory Board is being established, which includes representatives from the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI) and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Ethical and medical perspectives are specifically considered in its composition. The board will provide ongoing support by offering balanced recommendations on issues such as data protection, data security, data use, and usability.<\/span><\/p>\n
