“eHealth Suisse” is the National Competence and Coordination Center of the Confederation and the Cantons. Since 2017, eHealth Suisse is responsible for formal implementation tasks of the Federal Act on the Electronic Patient Record (www.patientrecord.ch), thus ensuring that health information is available at the right time and in the right place throughout Switzerland. After several years of preliminary work to lay the foundations for the electronic patient record, eHealth Suisse is taking on more and more implementation tasks. The eHealth Suisse counts thirteen people and promotes the digitisation of the health sector with competence, communication and cooperation.
