GP Practices and the Health eCard

The Health eCard is a credit-card sized, ‘smart card’ that allows patients to carry their complete medical records with them at all times. Once a GP Practice has adopted the Health eCard system, a securely encrypted copy of a patient’s medical record as held on the GP’s computer can be downloaded onto his or her personalised Health eCard. And, after each GP consultation, patients can have their Health eCard updated at the Practice to keep their data current. To view their medical records, patients simply plug their Health eCard into the USB port of any PC anywhere in the world and type in their secure pass-phrase. Reading the medical information does not require any special equipment or smart card reader. It’s as simple as that.

Better GP-patient partnerships  

The Health eCard represents the future of ‘patient informatics’ and offers a secure, proven and easy-to-use method of involving patients which does not rely on the Internet or Connecting for Health. Many GP Practices have already selected to become early adopters of the Health eCard, forging better patient partnerships and helping patients to take more responsibility for their healthcare. Indeed, there is an increasing body of evidence from other countries that treatment plans are more closely followed and with better results when patients are better informed about their health care. 

As more and more GPs routinely share medical records with their patients, and as patients demands for more information about their health increase, the Health eCard offers the perfect solution.

Important - An integral part of the Health eCard software includes its unique and fast record-checking system for GPs and Practice Managers. And, of course, fast and accurate access in a medical emergency to a patient’s Health eCard could even save a life.
