Transitional Financing for Electronic Patient Record

The Swiss Pharmacists Association pharmaSuisse supports the electronic patient record (EPR) and is convinced of its benefits. However, an obligation should apply to both service providers and patients, as an obligation solely for service providers could prove counterproductive due to the slow progress in opening the EPRs.

Financial support for participation in the technical integration of outpatient service providers' systems would increase acceptance of the EPR and transform participation from a duty into a voluntary act. Responsibilities and obligations must also be clarified.
