A patient in the visiting country grants the foreign HCP access to his/her medical record to facilitate treatment.

The HCP accesses a foreign patient’s medical record, e.g. his/her medical history summary, medication treatment plan, diagnosis and relevant lab examination results.

BP3

User authentication using the national eID infrastructure

The user is being authenticated via his/her nationally-issued eID.

BP4

Transmitting data for remote monitoring

The user transmits data using a telemonitoring service.

BP5

Paramedics retrieve data from the patient’s medical record.

BP6

Exchanging triage information, while the patient is transferred to the hospital via an ambulance

Paramedics transmit triage data to the respective hospital, e.g. wound pictures. The application transmits patient data in the ambulance and may provide guidance to the paramedics.

BP7
