Germany has launched a new electronic patient file (ePA), a digital database for patient medical records now accessible nationwide. This system allows healthcare providers to easily access and share patient information, such as prescriptions, medical treatments, and vaccination history. Initially covering basic details, the file will expand over time. Physicians can review records for 90 days after a patient visits, and patients have control over who accesses their data via an app, where they can also manage record-sharing settings. Full participation by medical offices is mandated by October.
