Electronic health professions register

The introduction of an electronic health professions register ( eGBR ) will in future take over the issue of electronic medical professions and professional ID cards (eHBA / eBA) to members of health professions, health workers and other providers of medically prescribed services - the so-called non-chambered professions . Their electronic professional ID cards are required to access data and applications of the electronic health card (eGK).

Germany

The eGBR was established across the federal states by resolution of the German state health ministerial conference . It is based in Bochum .

Goal setting

The issue of an electronic health professional ID card (eHBA) is intended for doctors , dentists , psychological psychotherapists and pharmacists , which, like the electronic health card, contains a microchip that enables authentication (electronic identity verification), encryption and electronic signature in the data exchange in the telematics infrastructure planned by gematik should offer. If the electronic health care professional ID cards are issued by the professional associations ( medical associations , dental associations , pharmacy associations , psychotherapist associations), the issuing of the HBA to the other medical and auxiliary professions is handled by the eGBR. His tasks will include the secure identification of applicants for an electronic health professional or professional ID (eHBA / eBA) and the review of the professional license / professional certificate in cooperation with the competent professional authorities of the federal states. For this purpose, a concept for determining the responsible bodies for the issuance of the electronic health professions and occupational IDs in accordance with Section 291a Paragraph 5a No. 1 and 2 SGB ​​V was adopted by the majority . The Center for Telematics and Telemedicine in Health Care (ZTG) is carrying out the pilot project "electronic professional ID" by issuing the card to 1000 physiotherapists .

Target groups

The electronic health professional or professional ID is to be issued to around two million members of around 60 health and care professions in Germany, for example to health care professionals , hearing aid acousticians , dieticians , orthopedic technicians , medical assistants , dental assistants , see health professions .

Austria

The legal basis for the introduction of a register of health professions in Austria is the Health Professions Register Act . It was not introduced in the form approved by parliament in July 2013 because Lower Austria and Salzburg refused their constitutionally required consent and vetoed them. The law creates two classes of health professions because it only applies to professions in the upper medical-technical service. Another point of criticism concerns data protection .

In a second attempt, the Council of Ministers decided on June 16, 2015 to set up a health professions register. The register includes both the professional group of health and nursing care as well as members of the medical-technical services, such as physiotherapists , dietologists , speech therapists , occupational therapists , biomedical analysts and radiology technologists . Like other professional health care professionals such as doctors - they are, however, in their own chamber in the registry list registered - name lists are maintained, including training, which are available publicly on the Internet.

Switzerland

The Swiss Conference of Cantonal Health Directors (GDK) is introducing an active, person-based, national register ( NAREG ) analogous to the medical professions register ( MedReg ) for non-university health professions . It will replace the passive, diploma-related register maintained by the Swiss Red Cross (SRK) on behalf of the GDK . This is intended to implement the legal basis created for this in 2005 (Art. 12ter of the IKV, the sub-cantonal agreement on the recognition of training qualifications). Organizationally, the NAREG is also carried out by the Swiss Red Cross.
