The electronic patient record (EPR) lets you store all important information relating to your health securely and digitally in one place – from examination results and medication lists to your digital vaccination record. You thus have access to your health data any time and anywhere and can easily share it with health professionals if necessary. This makes your treatment more efficient – and your care safer.
