Using patient data securely
Digitization in healthcare offers the opportunity for better patient care. With the push by the German Federal Ministry of Health to make electronic patient records (ePA) mandatory for everyone from the end of 2024, the discussion about the security of sensitive health data is gaining new momentum.
