A common workflow would be: A patient calls, gets an appointment in the calendar. He then arrives a day later, introduces himself and provides his eCard.The card is plugged into the reader, there is a button to press for accessing the card data. Small checkup if data are correct (ecard data == master data of patient in DB? firstname, lastname, DOB, sex, insurance, Rezeptgebührenbefreiung, etc.) - if differences occur, blocking alert –> adjust data!

A consultation must be created manually with all the attributes it needs (“Regelfall”, etc.), then two generally used ways are:

• put the patient on a waiting list (“doctor”, “therapy”, etc.)
• open the patient's file

Most of these features are a service of the GINA box, and should be provided by the eCard module, creating a usable human interface.

• Search for SVNR, providing firstname, lastname, dob
• Check online consultations (and syncing them to the saved ones in the DB)
• Vorsorgeuntersuchung, Disease Management Programs, forms module necessary
