Case Study: General University Hospital in Prague achieves secure, paperless digital signing of patient records with Thales' SafeNet eToken

General University Hospital in Prague - Customer Case Study

General University Hospital in Prague, one of the Czech Republic’s leading teaching hospitals, needed to digitize and legally secure clinician signatures to streamline workflows, reduce paperwork, and comply with Czech e-signature and time-stamping laws. To meet these requirements the hospital selected Thales and its PKI-based SafeNet eToken USB authenticator to give doctors and nurses a convenient, legally valid way to sign and submit electronic patient reports.

Thales deployed the SafeNet eToken across thousands of medical staff, storing private keys on the hardware token and enabling the hospital’s information system to recognize certificates so clinicians can sign directly from their applications. The solution reduced reliance on handwritten signatures and paper processes, accelerated approval and inter-department communications, delivered non-repudiation and time-stamping for legal compliance, and cut paper-related costs while maintaining strong key protection.
