Redcare Pharmacy becomes the first pharmacy to use new TI access technology for faster e-prescription processes.

Sevenum, Netherlands, April 22, 2026. Redcare Pharmacy’s B2B access to the telematics infrastructure (TI) is now significantly improved through the use of a new technology and identity solution from partners ehex and D-Trust (Bundesdruckerei). The previously required physical institutional card is being replaced by a fully digital identity of the pharmacy within the TI gateway. This is also noticeable for customers via their B2C access: access to e-prescriptions via CardLink remains unchanged in terms of process but becomes faster overall and reduces waiting times.

The transition to the so-called HSM-B technology marks a technological advancement in the ongoing development of the telematics infrastructure. It significantly improves speed, stability and scalability of the connection, while also enabling a more efficient cost structure. This creates an important foundation for further growth in the e-prescription segment.

Customers benefit from measurable improvements in the e-prescription process: after the CardLink step, prescriptions can be retrieved and processed more quickly from the gematik server. This reduces waiting times in the Rx ordering process and noticeably improves performance when redeeming e-prescriptions.

The new solution is part of the next expansion stage of the TI architecture within the framework of gematik TI 2.0. It addresses increasing demands for speed and scalability in the digital healthcare market. The rollout begins with a test phase together with ehex as well as additional partners and will serve as the basis for a subsequent broader rollout.

Lode Fastré, CIO of Redcare Pharmacy: “The introduction of this technology is an important step in further scaling our e-prescription business. It improves the performance of our systems and lays the foundation for future growth. At the same time, it underlines our leading role in connecting to the TI infrastructure.”
