Annual Café Discussion by Lake-Side SBR Holders: Transparency and Assistance in Electronic Patient Records for Enhanced Patient and Healthcare System Experience
In light of the immense response to the initial Seasonal Café event held on April 8, 2025, discussing electronic patient records (ePA), the Senior Council of Haltern am See has announced a follow-up event. The additional event will take place on June 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM in the Council Chamber on the first floor of the Old Town Hall.
Rüdiger Haake, the Chairman of the Senior Council, spoke about the challenges faced at the first event, including turning away approximately 30 interested parties due to limited seating. Nevertheless, he expressed delight at the opportunity to host an additional session with speaker Stefan Antenbrink.
Since April 29, 2025, all practices have been authorized to use the ePA on a voluntary basis, with mandatory use scheduled to commence on October 1, 2025. Haake emphasized the insufficient information available regarding ePA access and its benefits, stating that the Senior Council aims to bridge this knowledge gap to help patients reap the rewards of digitization.
The ePA facilitates the electronic compilation of medication lists, findings, and treatment reports, boosting transparency and security for both patients and doctors, particularly in emergency situations.
The Q&A session during the June 3 event will offer attendees the chance to interact with Antenbrink, the Head of Sales for TK Recklinghausen, who will address the advantages of voluntary digital use of the ePA, how to access it, the management of access rights, and systems to prevent unauthorized access.
With a focus on promoting understanding and clarity about the ePA system, this event promises to provide practical insights and help for patients regarding the benefits and practicalities of electronic patient records. [Source: seniororenbeirat-haltern.de]
