High acceptance by the insured (M + M insurance barometer) In the frame of the M + M of insurance barometer 2010 was carried out a survey to the setting of the insured to the electronic health card or the patient’s chart in January 2010. The survey is based on a representative population survey of 1,062 private and legally insured, who were interviewed by telephone to their needs and their satisfaction with their health insurance / health insurance. The future introduces two innovations of information storage data of the insured: a the electronic health card (eGK) with all essential health-related data to the person of the insured person, on the other hand the electronic patient file (ePA) with all important data about disease gradients of the insured person. The German insured look forward to positive impact of the introduction of the electronic health card. Almost every second respondent is the planned introduction of positive versus (48%), approximately of the respondents is still undecided, she rejects another quarter (rather) down. A significantly higher acceptance identified a population-representative study was carried out in early 2009 on behalf of TK. Thereafter, welcome the introduction about three quarters of the population, expect that this abuse of the cards goes back and they benefit later from other applications such as the electronic health record (ePA). The agreement among the participants from the German electronic health card test regions (87% agree) was even greater.
Skepticism is there especially for the surveyed doctors: 4 doctors interviewed by 5 to speak, only to develop the system before the start (press release of TK). As the M + M of insurance barometer 2010 results, younger citizens are in favour of the electronic health card (eGK) and the applications in the future with her more often than older citizens. But the planned introduction of the electronic patient record (ePA) with the individual medical history included lab findings, operation reports and X-rays will be positively assessed with clear tendency. .
