New position paper „eHealth“

Digital transformation of healthcare systems, new healthcare technologies, healthcare data and management of data in healthcare are key when talking about strengthening the role of citizens in taking care of their own health, as well as for building a healthier society. During the breakout of the coronavirus pandemic across the world and in the EU, there has been a significant increase in the use of digital tools and solutions in the healthcare system.

Croatia is one of the EU countries that could boast a significant level of digitalization in healthcare and the healthcare system, although the level of digitalization of healthcare and the healthcare system has begun to stagnate. Therefore, it is necessary to continually raise awareness on the importance of updating and improving the Croatian healthcare system with “e-Zdravstvo” in order bridge the gap between it and those European Union healthcare systems to which we naturally strive towards as well as to bring back focus to the process of digitalization and the importance of digitalizing healthcare itself.
