Patient information on the ePA

according to § 343 para, 1a SGB V

ePA for everyone - what you need to know now

The Electronic Patient Record (ePA) is your very personal and secure storage location for your health data. It enables you and healthcare professionals to view and manage them digitally. From January 2025, all people with statutory health insurance will receive an ePA - unless you object.

Günter Wältermann, Chairman of the Board of Management of AOK Rheinland/Hamburg, explains the opportunities that the ePA brings in a video interview.
