Consumer Center NRW Offers Free Online Course on ePA Starting August 18
Starting on August 18, 2025, Consumer Center NRW will provide a free online self-learning course about the electronic patient record (ePA). The course is designed for individuals insured under statutory health insurance who wish to learn about the ePA without prior knowledge.
The course consists of three flexible learning units, each offering clear information, interactive exercises, and practical step-by-step guides. The units cover various aspects of the ePA, including its advantages and disadvantages, data protection, data security, and what data to store and hide.
In Unit 3, the course explains how to unlock and log in to the ePA app of one's own health insurance company. On August 18, 2025, a new section on registering for the ePA app will be unlocked with click-throughs for practice.
