How the document exchange works

Data preparation for electronic dispatch

Data preparation begins with entering the relevant patient data and services in the Abacus software. The system automatically checks the completeness and correctness of the entries. The data is then processed in accordance with the currently stored tariffs and invoicing guidelines. Abacus generates standardised accounting documents that meet the requirements of the cost units.

Conversion to the required transmission format

After preparation, the documents are converted into the required electronic format. Abacus supports common standards. Conversion is automatic and takes into account the specific requirements of the respective recipient. The necessary metadata and encryption information is also added to ensure secure and compliant transmission.

Electronic dispatch and receipt of documents

The converted documents are sent to network partners such as MediData or Swisscom Health via secure, encrypted connections. They then forward the documents to the appropriate recipients.
