DAK ePA

The DAK ePA app is designed to facilitate the potential of the electronic patient file (ePA), serving as a secure key to your medical data and documents, including your electronic prescriptions. This accessibility ensures that essential health information is always at your fingertips, whether you are on the go, at a physician's practice, or during a hospital stay.

What is my ePA?
The electronic patient file (ePA) acts as a central repository for your medical records, including findings, documentation, and diagnoses. This organization allows you to have immediate access to your health information and maintain control over who can view it. Consequently, the need to obtain paper copies of medical correspondence is eliminated, allowing healthcare providers to focus on your treatment.
