Estonian E-health information system is stuck
12.01.2009, 14:19 Although the work of medical institutions
should’ve been transferred into E-health information system this year, most of
the hospitals haven’t joined the system yet, Postimees reports.
E-health is an information system that joins digital health record, pictures
and registration. Both, doctors and patients should be able to make many
necessary things through the system and it would save time and money.
The patient portal is currently being beta tested, which means the system is
not ready yet and has to be fixed and improved.
Eastern Tallinn central hospital and Järveotsa health centre are the only
ones currently using the E-health system.
The rest of the medical institutions wait for permit from Data Protection
Inspectorate to take the system to use.
