In practice, the switch from paper to an electronic prescribing system requires the prescriber to transmit electronically prescription information via computer to that of the pharmacist. Patients can then get their medicines simply by using their medical card. The introduction of ePrescriptions will continue on 17 January 2011 in other counties and will end on 31 January 2011 when Zagreb County and Zagreb City will also connect to the system.

Starting on 1 January 2011 patients will be able to schedule doctors' appointments online; moreover, all paper referrals, prescriptions and test results will be replaced by electronic forms.

In the beginning only primary care will be linked to an integral information system; the rest of the operations of all healthcare institutions are expected to be completed within the next year [2011].

In the light of this initiative, Ms Opačić said that this is the first government in 23 years that started to electronically integrate government data from several information systems into a single one. She also emphasised that the Ministry will provide around HRK6 billion (approx. €791 million) out of its budget for the computerisation of certain licenses and specific computer programs.

Over the course of a year, Supetar has managed to substantially boost its smart city capabilities

The coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns and suspension of face-to-face meetings and exchanges forced many cities to quickly adopt new technologies and to turn their attention to improving their already existing offers.

The Integrated Land Administration Project (ILAS) is a follow on project to the successful Real Property Registration and Cadastre project which helped the Ministry of Justice, the State Geodetic Administration and Land Registry Offices to successfully complete the first phase of the reform of the land registry and cadastre. It simplified procedures, improved efficiency of services, reduced backlogs, increased transparency and access to information and developed joint procedures and a common land database under the Joint Information System (JIS). All of these reforms have been important in improving tenure security and strengthening the land administration system which are both crucial for speeding up the reform of the judiciary and public administration, the fight against corruption and doing business.
