The new treatment number

German – French – Italian – Romansh – English- |› ChatGPT

The treatment number is necessary because errors, misunderstandings or disputes may arise during any treatment, and the persons affected must be able to defend themselves against them. This is precisely the purpose also served by the provision of Art. 117 para. 9 letter k of the Federal Constitution: the persons affected can prevent treatment data or the contents of conversations from being deleted. This preserves their ability to successfully substantiate their objections later on. The result is more respectful interaction: everyone involved knows that procedures remain traceable.

The treatment number is also necessary because new or amended prescriptions for medicines may become valid during any treatment. Pharmacies that have to supply medicines receive the required authorisation through access to the Electronic Patient Record. There they may view exclusively those prescriptions that are currently valid at the relevant time.
