Adopt the electronic patient record (EPR)

In order to participate in the EPR, you will need to join an EPR provider, also referred to as a (core) community, and undergo its admission process.

Using the EPR in practice

Using the EPR in practice requires well-defined and tested organisational procedures. Your provider will offer training on use of the EPR. You can then establish additional internal procedures, train your staff and thus comply with data protection requirements. Treatment-related data must be stored in the EPR if the patient has one.
