Language versions: Deutsch · Français · Italiano · English · Rumantsch

¶ A Binding Transition Remains Necessary

The Post announced in June 2026 that it would operate its EPD platform until the end of 2026; the Sanela anchor community is to be dissolved. This provider decision predates the planned E-GD start. A personal document repository in an app and a statutory EPD are different offerings. Statement of 25 June 2026

The SGK-N demanded in August an orderly transition and the widest possible preservation of existing investments. This is a concrete political response to the uncertainty of the interim phase. Committee statement

¶ Legislation, Procurement and Operation

The legislative decision, the technical award and productive launch are separate milestones. The FOPH describes 2030 as the earliest possible date under favourable conditions. Existing EPDs are to be transferred to the future system; how permissions and connection processes are migrated is also part of the implementation.

¶ Editorial Checklist

Review Area	Question That Should Be Answered Before Broad Introduction
Law	Have chamber differences, referendum proceedings and implementing legislation been concluded?
Information	Do those affected understand opening, deadline, opt-out and subsequent dissolution?
Access	Does support also work without a smartphone and without existing digital routines?
Data	Who checks completeness, mix-ups, provenance and currency?
Permissions	Are default profiles comprehensible and releases revocable?
Keys	Who can technically decrypt; how do loss and emergencies work?
Security	Are there independent audits, fallback procedures and effective incident reporting?
Architecture	Which SwissHDS services are available at launch?
Costs	Are national and local expenditure and operations sustainably financed?
Portability	Can data and configurations be transferred without new provider dependency?
Effect	Are actual use and treatment effects measured separately?

These questions are editorial assessment criteria, not an assertion that every point is currently missing. The status must be updated on the basis of published evidence.
