The trusted digital identity for e-Health
The EPR is getting real
The healthcare sector in Switzerland is undergoing major changes, and the digitalisation of the healthcare system has accelerated with the arrival of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) that is expected to be rolled out soon all over Switzerland.
Patients and healthcare professionals will need to have a secure and certified digital identity to access the EPR as stated in the Federal Act on the Electronic Patient Record (EPRA). This is where CloudTrust’s TrustID Swiss independent, secure and EPRA certified digital identity provider solution with a competitive TCO comes into play. ELCA Group's extensive healthcare experience will help you make it work.
