– Digitization is a priority for the Ministry of Health, because we consider the development of e-health systems to be the future. However, the implementation of central e-registration requires significant changes at the statutory level, as well as the certainty that the recipients of the system will be prepared for it, said Deputy Minister of Health Wojciech Konieczny at the end of May at a meeting of the Parliamentary Health Committee.
The Ministry of Health is preparing changes. The idea is to shorten queues to specialists
The implementation of e-registration will take place in two stages. In the period from June 2024 to March 2025, a nationwide pilot implementation will take place to prepare healthcare entities to adopt the system (voluntary for healthcare entities). However, from April 2025, statutory system implementation will begin, which will be mandatory for healthcare entities for selected scopes of health services. Further health services will be added successively under the regulations of the Minister of Health, it says.
– The draft internally agreed regulation on the pilot implementation of central e-registration has already been submitted for external consultations. The pilot is planned to be launched at the turn of June and July this year. Its scope includes cardiology, mammography and cytology – explained Wojciech Konieczny.
The Ministry of Health announces e-registration
The Deputy Minister of Health said that the system of incentives for those implementing the central e-registration pilot will have a budget of PLN 56 million. The funds will be used in the preparatory phase (including for training and launching interfaces), as well as in the form of a lump sum for providers, calculated on the basis of the number of services provided in e-registration. – We are also starting consultations on statutory changes sanctioning central registration as a mandatory tool from April 2025, preparing for a natural exit from the pilot program – concluded Deputy Minister of Health Wojciech Konieczny at a meeting of the Parliamentary Health Committee.
