Understand Your Electronic Patient Record: Free Event in Euskirchen
The Consumer Center in Euskirchen, in collaboration with 'SIE' (Senior Citizens in Euskirchen), is hosting a free event on the electronic patient record (ePR) on October 21, 2025. The event, to be held at 10:00 AM in the council chamber of the Euskirchen city administration, aims to educate the public about this mandatory system that has been in use since October 1, 2025, for those insured by statutory health insurance.
Monika Schiffer, the director of the Consumer Center in Euskirchen, will be the key speaker at the event. She will delve into various aspects of the ePR, including its advantages and disadvantages, how to set it up, and related usage aspects. Schiffer, who heads the Consumer Center, is well-versed in the intricacies of the ePR system and will provide valuable insights to attendees.
The ePR, now mandatory in doctor's practices and clinics, has been implemented by statutory health insurers who have set up an ePR account for their insured. Private health insurers are also following suit, ensuring widespread adoption of the digital record-keeping system. The event seeks to demystify the ePR and help users navigate this new healthcare landscape.
The ePR event, hosted by the Consumer Center in Euskirchen and 'SIE', is an opportunity for the public to understand and engage with the electronic patient record system. With Monika Schiffer's expert guidance, attendees can expect to leave the event better informed and more confident in managing their digital healthcare records.
