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.
