Abstract
The mandatory introduction of Health Professional Cards (HPC) in the German health care system induces major challenges for IT infrastructures as well as organisational structures in hospitals. This paper presents a new approach for integrating HPCs in hospital processes and infrastructures that is realized in the product IQ-Medi-LOG. The objective is to leverage efficiency and effectiveness potentials associated with the electronic health cards and to enable entirely new services in hospitals. Using a conceptual comparison the authors are able to show the advantages of this concept. In closing they outline further areas of application and future development trends.
