Within the project, the requirements were developed for deployment of the functionality of the following information systems: electronic health card information system, phase 2, E-recipe information system, phase 2, Sector integration platform, phase2, e-appointment and referrals information system, phase 2, E-health portal, phase 2, as well as for data exchange launching within epSOS ensuring data exchange in the Member States of the EU, development of health care sector e-services, development of unified statistic information system for the sector, for migration of the register of the persons having certain diseases to the unified e-health information system, for the development of the functionality of Unified supervision information system, phase 2 and for development of the Unified e-health information and communications technology infrastructure.

The most important benefits to be expected as a result of our work:

• Decreased administrative burden for residents – centralised and electronic storage of medical documents and implementation of e-services will reduce considerably the administrative burden of a patient, decreasing the time that used to be necessary for contacts with medical personnel.
• Unified environment for health care services – currently the selection of health care services is fragmented and time consuming, but as a result of the implementation of the Unified e-health information system it will be significantly simpler and adjusted to different situation of actual life.
• Wider involvement of patients in health care process – implementation of solutions for proactive exchange of messages between medical persons and a patient will considerably increase involvement of patients in health care process.
• Improvement of health care process quality (related to prompt availability of the information) – the quality of decisions made by personnel of the health care sector will improve considerably, as they will be based on much broader information than before.
• Improvement of health care efficiency at the level of health care institutions and pharmacies – the time dedicated by medical personnel (or pharmacists) to processing of medical and statistic documents will be reduced, thus more time will be dedicated to a patient/customer. Likewise, implementation of a unified e-appointment system, work planning and supervision process for health care institutions will be considerably simplified.

Improvement of health care efficiency at the level of the state – better availability of medical information will enable more precise analysis of medical personnel, medical institutions, patients, groups of patients, diagnosis or manipulations, thus allowing a more detailed analysis and improvement of the efficiency of the health care process.
