According to the words of a politician should be the electronic health card and the single electronic patient record is still in this legislature. “The health card will come, definitely,” said Baer. “The electronic patient file will go in this legislature, in regular operation, i.e., until no later than the end of 2021. This must be so; and, finally, all the other digital health to build services.“
