ABSTRACT
"MonDossierMedical.ch" is a project led by the canton of Geneva, making it possible for every patient to access his own electronic health record (EHR) and to share the medical files with his doctors. It was introduced across the canton in mid-2013, and provided to all patients free of charge. it is based on the first Swiss-wide e-health-compliant pilot project "e-toile". The canton of Geneva developed "e-toile" as a public-private partnership together with Swiss Post and it was launched in 2009 in some of the canton's municipalities. Back then, Geneva's EHR represented the first Swiss attempt to link all healthcare professionals in the treatment chain. Today, it serves more than 4,600 patients and 380 physicians. This number is growing regularly, as well as the health care institutions (physicians, private hospitals, labs) joining the community. Added value tools, such as a shared care plan and a shared medication list will make the platform even more attractive.
