Legal basis

The legal basis is provided by the law on the electronic health dossier.

This regulates that certain health care providers are obliged to file medical data and information in the case of treatment in the eGD of the person with health insurance (Art. 19 para. 2 EGDG; Art. 5 para. 2 EGDG ). This includes doctors, the Liechtenstein National Hospital, the Liechtenstein Old Age and Sickness Assistance, pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists and other health care institutions as defined by the Health Act (e.g. medical laboratory) (Art. 2 para. 2 let. c EGDG). However, this obligation naturally only applies if the person with health insurance has not objected to the use of the eGD (Art. 6 EGDG).
