Would you as a nursing, obstetrics or physiotherapy facility like to extend your employees' access to the telematics infrastructure (TI)? Then you can apply for the follow-up card of the electronic institution card (SMC-B) for them under certain conditions.

The SMC-B (Security Module Card Type B) is an electronic institution card and electronic institution ID card in one. It enables people working in the healthcare professions in an institution to access the telematics infrastructure (TI). The TI networks all those involved in the healthcare system and will enable access to the electronic patient file (ePA) in the future, for example.

There are different SMC-Bs for different professional groups. There is an SMC-B for

• Medical practices, dental practices and psychotherapy practices
• Nursing, obstetrics and physiotherapy facilities
• pharmacies

You can use this online service to apply for an extension of the SMC-B for institutions with employees that are not organized in chambers. These are

• Healthcare, nursing and geriatric care facilities
• Obstetrics facilities
• Physiotherapy facilities

To extend the SMC-B, you must first reapply for the right to use the card from the electronic healthcare professional register (eGBR). You then apply for the SMC-B from a trust service provider (VDA). VDAs charge an annual fee, which varies from provider to provider.
