As of January 2020, 286 duly licensed chiropractors were available to provide musculoskeletal healthcare in Switzerland - just under 50% of responding Swiss chiropractors used an EPR system in clinical practice, while 60% used encrypted email technology. Better implementation of EPR and electronic health information technologies in Swiss chiropractic practice is possible and encouraged for the purpose of musculoskeletal healthcare quality improvement.
