3 The most important points in brief Status of ehealth among health care professionals The introduction of the electronic patient record stands at the heart of the efforts to establish ehealth across Switzerland. In the summer of, the Federal Act on the Electronic Patient Record (EPRA) was passed by the National Council and the Council of States. The cantons were called on to review their respective legal systems as regards compatibility with EPRA and, where necessary, to initiate the required changes. The objective here is to ensure a gradual implementation of the act that takes account of the specific circumstances at a cantonal and regional level. This should take place in close cooperation with those responsible for the provision of treatment and on the basis of common standards.1 Especially when it comes to these common ehealth standards, the majority of the surveyed health care professionals believe that only minor progress has been made. Over time, the share of health care professionals who are closely assessing the situation has also tended to increase. It almost appears that it will only really be possible to determine how much progress still actually has to be made upon subjecting the issue to greater scrutiny. Figure 1 Trend in comparison of progress in the area of ehealth standards "Very generally speaking: How do you assess the status of the work in connection with standards for ehealth? Is this work already very advanced, fairly advanced, not really very advanced or not very advanced at all?" As a % of surveyed IT at hospitals, cantons, IT at Curaviva IT-hospitals Cantons IT-Curaviva gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February There are no standards Not very advanced at all Not really very advanced Don t know/no answer Fairly advanced Very advanced Trend in comparison of progress in the area of ehealth standards "Very generally speaking: How do you assess the status of the work in connection with standards for ehealth?

Institutionalisation can occur, for example, when specific ehealth strategies are developed within the organisations and these organisations are also the base for an increasing number of those individuals with designated responsibility for ehealth. While the main impetus for participation in specific implementation projects is clearly coming from IT specialists, interest is also being signalled by the remaining health care professionals (apart from the medical profession). A focus is also currently being placed on inter-cantonal implementation. 3
4 Figure 2 Comparison of participation in implementation projects "Do you participate in a regional or cantonal ehealth implementation project?" As a % of surveyed doctors, IT at hospitals, old people s homes, cantons, IT at Curaviva, NPO Spitex Don t know/no answer No, this does not interest me No, but I would be interested Yes, in a pilot project IT-Curaviva IT-hospitals Cantons NPO-Spitex Pharmacists Old people's homes and nursing homes gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February Doctors Yes, planned in the next 12 months Yes, cantonal Yes, regional A majority within all groups of health care professionals express an interest in ehealth. Nevertheless, health care professionals are today not tapping into the potential for improving their own professional environment any more than they were a few years ago, when progress was at a much less advanced stage. While hospitals are acting as spearheads and driving ehealth efforts in many respects, members of the medical profession working at practices tend to have their foot on the brake. This is also the group of health care professionals who see the least potential in ehealth. It is members of the medical profession, both at hospitals and practices, who will be essential for the success of ehealth in Switzerland. They will play a central role when it comes to diffusing information on the various options down to the level of patients and clients. A key factor here may be the provision of specific training on this topic, which is still clearly desired by the individual health care professionals. Electronic documentation and networking Electronic systems for the saving and management of patient data can now be found nationwide and within all groups. The transition towards a fully electronic organisational structure can be well traced for all health care professionals over the last approximately four years. Digitisation still tends to meet with most resistance from doctors working at practices. A majority are satisfied with the respective care documentation at the medical practices and this level of satisfaction is even greater than that among members of the medical profession working at hospitals, who otherwise tend to be more impressible. Dissatisfaction is primarily triggered by a lack of functionality, excessive complexity and, in some cases, the slowness of the systems. 4

Are you very satisfied, quite satisfied, not very satisfied or not at all satisfied with this?" As a % of surveyed doctors with their own medical practice, hospital doctors, NPO Spitex, old people s homes, pharmacists with an electronic system Not at all satisfied Not very satisfied Don t know/no answer 43 Quite satisfied Figure Doctors with own medical practice Hospital doctors NPO-Spitex Old people's and nursing homes Pharmacists gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February (n doctors with their own medical practice = 32, n hospital doctors = 127, n NPO Spitex = 171, old people s homes and nursing homes = 43, n pharmacists = 411) Very satisfied The objective of the electronic storing and processing of patient, client and resident data is, in particular, also to improve the interfaces between the individual health care professionals. This is clearly a slow and time-intensive process and over the years only minor progress has been observed. Compared to the beginning of the series of surveys, however, an improvement can be seen for each individual interface. While the changes are taking place in small steps, they have until now been clearly evident. Trend filter of the assessment of interfaces with key players pharmacists "How do you personally assess the interfaces between you and the following key players:" As a % of surveyed pharmacists with an electronic system, share of "very good/quite good" Trend filter of the assessment of interfaces with key players Old people's homes "How do you personally assess the interfaces between you and the following key players:" As a % of surveyed old people s homes with an electronic system, percentage of very good/quite good gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February (n pharmacists = approx. 380 in each case) gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February (n old people's = approx. 400 in each case) The groups of health care professionals that see the greatest potential for improvement when it comes to interfaces with other key players vary. Nevertheless, some groups clearly stand out. Specialists, acute-care hospitals and general practitioners appear in the top three of the groups with the greatest potential for improvement in almost all cases. The electronic patient record is assigned great potential by majorities in all groups of health care professionals when it comes to integrated care.

The type of clinical data that is generated electronically and made available to the respective patients and also exchanged within the individual institutions has remained relatively constant within the individual groups of key players and is based on the specific needs of the working environment of each health care professional. With the exception of pharmacies, which to perform their task also simply require access to fewer different data sources than care homes, for example, the degree of internal networking is advancing slowly but surely.

7 The receiving of data from sources outside an institution, i.e. external networking, is far less advanced, however. Nevertheless, certain progress has been observed over time in this area, with hospitals once again at the forefront of these developments. Introduction of electronic patient record The majority of all health care professionals and the eligible voters support the introduction of an electronic patient record. Here, the level of approval among the eligible voters is exactly the same as that of members of the medical profession. Relatively speaking, these are the two most critical groups. Between and, a reduction was observed in the level of approval for the electronic patient record. There has been a change to this development in, however. Figure 6 Trend in comparison of the assessment of the introduction of the electronic patient record "Do you basically support the introduction of an electronic patient record? Are you..." As a % of surveyed doctors, IT at hospitals, pharmacists, cantons, old people s homes, IT at Curaviva, NPO Spitex, eligible voters, percentage of those who are definitely/to some extent for Doctors IT-hospitals Pharmacists Cantons Old people's homes IT-Curaviva NPO-Spitex Eligible voters gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February In line with the findings on the status of ehealth with the health care professionals, an emphasis is placed on the definition of common standards and training measures when it comes to the desired measures for the introduction of the electronic patient dossier. Here, the cantons primarily see their role in the areas of coordination and, where necessary, regulation. At this time, only minorities of all the surveyed key players would like to offer an electronic patient record, even to their own patients or clients. With regard to the introduction and offering of electronic patient records, hospital doctors and pharmacies are most likely to be among the leaders in this regard. At the NPO Spitex, a considerable leap in the degree of willingness to offer an electronic patient record can be observed relative to. 7

As a % of surveyed doctors, pharmacists, NPO Spitex No Don't know/no answer Yes Figure 8 Doctors with own medical practice Hospital doctors Pharmacists NPO-Spitex gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February Nevertheless, in cases in which a desire was expressed to do so, an emphasis was primarily placed on the improvement of work processes. Transparency (especially for the NPO Spitex) and data accessibility (especially for pharmacies) also play a role, however. Arguments against the offering of an electronic patient record include the issue of data protection (members of the medical profession, pharmacies) and the continuing uncertainty as regards the benefits of the record (especially at the NPO Spitex).

As before, there is a clear preference among all key players to join an association in which various representatives of their own or very closely related professional groups are members. The desire for a cantonal-based association, which is already also reflected in the expressed participation in implementation projects, is also frequently communicated. 8
9 It is difficult to assess the value and benefits of a good that you yourself have no or almost no experience with. Nevertheless, there does indeed appear to be a certain willingness to pay for access to an association of this kind. Figure 9 Comparison of amount that key players are willing to pay to join associations of health care professionals "How much would you or your organisation in principle be willing to pay to join such an association of health care professionals?" As a % of surveyed doctors, doctors with their own medical practice, pharmacists, old people s homes and nursing home, NPO Spitex Don t know/no answer More than 00 CHF 01 to 00 CHF Doctors Doctors with own medical practice Pharmacists Old people's and nursing homes NPO-Spitex gfs.bern, Swiss ehealth Barometer, December February 1 to 00 CHF 1 to 0 CHF Nothing Data protection Data protection remains a key factor for the success of ehealth in Switzerland and especially also for the successful introduction of the electronic patient record. The idea that patients and clients will in future even be able to access their own data directly is generating mixed feelings among health care professionals. Among members of the medical profession, in particular, only a minority believe that this option offers a benefit. Nevertheless, the level of approval in this regard has increased over recent years. While the eligible voters welcome the access to their own data that is opening up to them, it is still unclear to what extent they will actually make use of this access. The surveyed health care professionals are today confronted with requests from their patients to view their medical histories. Nevertheless, such requests remain rare. 9

However, there are still concerns in this regard, especially among members of the medical profession working at practices. In contrast to the eligible voters, health care professionals are also of the opinion that their patients and clients are rather poorly qualified when it comes to making decisions on access to their own data. Grafik 11 Trend in comparison of trust in compliance with data protection "How much trust do you have that the authorities that work with patient data / resident data / client data also comply with data protection requirements in connection with the electronic patient record?"

11 responsible for IT at the level of the cantons, 13 people responsible at the cantonal associations of Curaviva and 173 members of NPO Spitex grassroots organisations were surveyed in an online study. The survey was carried out between 1 December and 31 January. For members of the medical profession, there was also the possibility during this period to complete the survey on paper and return it by post. Conclusion of the study The following working hypotheses are provided as reading aids and to provide guidance for the classification of the key findings presented here. They should also sharpen the readers view as regards the further development of ehealth in Switzerland. Working hypothesis 1: Address increasing demand Movement can currently be observed in the level of patient demand for technologies and offers in the area of ehealth (e.g. apps). The opportunities created by this momentum should not be wasted by health care professionals and should instead be addressed with appropriate offers. Working hypothesis 2: Implementation of common standards ehealth is an issue that is now very much established among health care professionals. Nevertheless, there is still great potential for providing further clarification on the issue. When it comes to the implementation of common standards for all involved key players, in particular, there are still specific areas of uncertainty. The more that health care professionals are confronted with the implementation, the clearer it becomes to them just how much work still needs to be done. ehealth is currently being subjected to a reality check of sorts. Working hypothesis 3: IT and providers as drivers of progress The care professionals with direct patient contact (members of the medical profession, care home, NPO Spitex, pharmacies) are pivotal in ensuring the successful implementation and introduction of the electronic patient record. The providers and IT departments are proving to be effective drivers of progress here. Working hypothesis 4: as the turning point? The passing of EPRA in summer left a considerable mark on health care professionals. The issue appears to be a more topical item on the agenda. From the survey conducted in, the level of interest and ehealth itself have been addressed more systematically within the organisations. The modestly expressed enthusiasm must be addressed with a nationwide further-training effort. Working hypothesis : Focus at cantonal level The implementation of the Federal Act on the Electronic Patient Record requires the formation of associations of specialists. These are now becoming established, although efforts are still primarily being focussed at a cantonal level. For this reason too, an important active role in guiding these efforts is assigned to the cantonal authorities in their position as coordinators and regulators. 11
12 Working hypothesis 6: Diffusion required The specific application of ehealth, be this the electronic patient record, electronic vaccination record or the improvement of interfaces, is currently primarily being observed among specialists who are tasked with its implementation. This means in IT departments and at cantonal authorities. From now on, this momentum must be passed on to health care professionals, as ultimately they are responsible for the establishment of ehealth in the health care system. Working hypothesis 7: Implementation of electronic patients record which strategy promises success? In, a majority of the population can, for the first time, imagine opening an electronic patient record. At least some of them, however, would only do so on the recommendation of a health care professional as a rule their general practitioner. Compared to members of the medical profession with their own practice, the level of openness towards the electronic patient record is greater at hospitals and pharmacies. Also taking account of the regulation relating to double voluntary action, a strategy for the introduction of the electronic patient record that focuses on hospitals and pharmacies as well as care homes and NPO Spitex organisations could thus prove promising. 12
