The Electronic Patient Record (EPR)

Health information, available online

In the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) your patients can manage their health information and share it with you.

The EPR is a collection of personal documents containing health information of your patients. The patient determines who can see which documents and when. Through a secure internet connection, the information stored in the EPR is accessible to your patients and, if approved, to you as a healthcare professional at any time.
