Papastergiou: Greek hospitals to "communicate" digitally

Greek hospitals are on the path to digitization and will speak the same "digital language", i.e. they will come to the same digital level and will interoperate with each other, so that doctors regardless of the region, city, prefecture where they are located have access in the patient's national individual electronic health file without the patient having to present the paper file with his examinations each time.
This is one of the objectives of the project "Improving the Digital Readiness of Hospitals - Upgrading hospital information systems & infrastructure" of the Ministry of Digital Governance in collaboration with the leadership of the Ministry of Health.
Digital Governance, Dimitris Papastergiou, pointed out to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) that "the strengthening of critical sectors of everyday life, such as health, has been set as a government priority by Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Technology can offer solutions in this field as well. By developing digital infrastructures and applications, we enhance healthcare and citizens' quality of life. Our goal is for all the country's hospitals to 'communicate' both with each other and with the national medical file, the electronic prescription system and any other structure of the Ministry of Health. This is an initiative with significant implications beyond a more efficient way of organizing. Consider how much easier it will be for the citizen if he has all the information related to his health immediately available on his mobile phone, without having to carry files with paper tests, if the attending physician has access to this information, how much bureaucracy we eliminate. As the Ministry of Digital Governance, we operate horizontally for the public administration and utilize technology always focusing on the citizen and the improvement of his daily life".
