Electronic Health Records — Public Tenders
The electronic health record (ePA) is a central element of digitalisation in the German healthcare system. Hospitals, statutory health insurers and health authorities procure software and services for the introduction, integration and operation of electronic health records through public tendering procedures. With the statutory rollout of the ePA in Germany, the importance of these contracts has increased significantly.
Typical tenders in electronic health records
- Procurement of an ePA solution with connection to the German telematics infrastructure
- Integration of the electronic health record into an existing hospital information system (KIS)
- Introduction of a cross-institutional patient record for a hospital group
- Procurement of software licences and implementation services for the ePA
- Training and change-management services for the ePA rollout
- Operation and maintenance of an electronic health record as a managed service

Challenges in finding tenders
Terminology around electronic health records is varied and still evolving. Tenders can be published under labels such as "ePA", "elektronische Patientenakte", "Electronic Health Record", "EHR", "digital patient record", "clinical documentation" or "patient data management system". The topic also overlaps heavily with KIS tenders, as the ePA is often procured as a module of a larger information system.
Regulatory requirements, in particular through the telematics infrastructure and the gematik specifications, add a further layer of complexity. Bidders must understand both the technical and the regulatory tender requirements precisely.
