Motivation

In clinics, hospitals, medical practices, medical treatment centres and laboratories, numerous documents are produced on a daily basis, both in electronic and paper form, such as medical letters, findings, applications, expert opinions, invoices and many more.
E-signatures, e-seals and timestamps provide a high evidential value for the digital archiving of these documents. Medical institutions can use these tools both to avoid the formation of paper and to scan and digitize existing paper documents. Current legal practice in Germany shows that the framework conditions for the use of electronic patient records – digitally generated or scanned – are sufficiently fulfilled.

E-signature in the IT infrastructure

Which signature type is the right one?

In addition to the use of the “qualified” signature to achieve evidence security, other procedures, such as the “advanced” signature or signing on a signature pad (e.g. in patient admission), can also be applied in a meaningful and legally compliant manner under conditions related to the application.

Legal framework

The legal requirements of a normative nature, such as the EU regulation eIDAS-VO, as well as the guidelines of the GMDS (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Medizinische Informatik, Bietrie und Epidemiologie e.V.), BVMI, bvitg, CCeSiG, BVA and other associations and institutions with recommendation character are taken into account.
