Product details

Secure electronic signature – both mobile and hardware independent

In Germany, more than 400 million public health prescriptions are signed every year, and most of these are still handwritten. The situation is similar in other sectors – wherever you look, countless documents have to be signed. The ongoing digitalization of the healthcare system often comes to a halt at the signature as digitally created documents continue to be printed out and signed by hand. But that doesn’t have to be the case. The eIDAS regulation provides the legal framework for remotely triggered qualified signatures for electronic documents in the healthcare sector. What's more, some legislative proposals, such as the Hospital Future Act, are pushing for extensive digitalization, in this case of hospital processes.

Service providers in the healthcare sector usually have an electronic health professional card (eHPC) which can also be used to sign documents with a qualified electronic signature but is bound to a card terminal or reader. With sign-me eHealth, all employees in the healthcare sector can digitally sign documents in a qualified manner, regardless of the hardware used, i.e. without a card or card reader, via a web interface on their desktop PC or with a mobile device.

Easy and simple

When applying for their eHPC, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and psychotherapists can consent to the required identification also being used to create a sign-me eHealth account. The already verified identity is then used when the account is created.

Once the sign-me eHealth account has been set up, you can electronically sign on all mobile device at any time – currently only outside the telematics infrastructure, with no signature card or card reader required. Two-factor authentication (SMS-TAN or biometrics/fingerprint) guarantee your secure authentication when you trigger a signature.

The straightforward subscription price model allows you to sign for an unlimited period of time both from within and outside of your hospital information system, pharmacy, practice management system or similar solution – and all this at a fixed net monthly rate of €7 (recommended retail price).
