Do you want to extend access to the telematics infrastructure for your employees as a nursing, obstetrics or physiotherapy facility? Then you can apply for the follow-up card of the electronic institutional card for them under certain conditions.
Description
The SMC-B (Security Module Card Type B) is an electronic institutional card and an electronic institutional ID card in one. It enables people working in the healthcare professions at an institution to access the telematics infrastructure (TI). The TI networks all those involved in the healthcare system and will thus enable access to the electronic patient file (ePA), for example, in the future.
There are different SMC-B for different professional groups. There is an SMC-B for
- Medical practices, dental practices and psychotherapy practices
- Nursing, obstetrics and physical therapy facilities
- Pharmacies
Use this online service to apply for an SMC-B renewal for institutions with employees who are not organized in chambers. These are:
- Health care, nursing and geriatric care facilities
- Obstetrics facilities
- Physical therapy facilities
To renew the SMC-B, you must first reapply for the right to carry the card to the electronic health care professional registry (eGBR). Following this, you will then apply for the SMC-B with a trusted service provider (VDA). VDAs charge an annual fee that varies from provider to provider.
