(8 years ago)Accurate statistics are lacking in Kosovo for any disease. This is the result of the failure to implement the project for the health reference system. Health Minister Uran Ismaili says that although it has been working for seven years in this process, internal auditing has shown that all must be stopped due to [...] failure.
Health Minister Uran Ismaili says that although it has been working for seven years in this process, internal auditing has shown that all should be stopped because of the failure of this project, and started with the digitisation of health.
The “has been a project that has lasted seven years and has not been easy to secede. That's because when it's invested all those years in a project and on the other side there's a desire to be realised, it's expected, but it's resulted from an audit report that the pilot project has not reached the desired level. As a result, we have come into a situation that will close the project, and start with a digitization of”, Ismaili said.
Minister Ismaili further adds that digitalisation of health is a difficult but very necessary route in the country.
“Digital projects are not easy to implement, as innovation is entering a very traditional system, and all internal procedures must be electronically adjusted system. This is not just Kosovo's problem. Many countries in the region have failed to digitise the system, as they have wanted, Ismaili said.
On the other hand, Emergency Centre Director at the Kosovo University Clinical Centre Basri Lenyan told Free Europe Radio that nondiligation of health has created years of problems in access to emergency and emergency health care delivery.
He adds that the primary level should be given their obligations, so treat patients who are for that level, and then refer to the secondary and digestive level, in case of need. But such a thing, Lenyan says, only enables the digital system in health.
The Ministry of Health for the first time is reflecting positively on the way it is referring to the three levels of the health system. I think it's an important step, and it's not late, because the reference system is necessary and we'll then deal with cases that can't handle the two levels of health care, because that allows the health care system, Lenyan said.
However, in the absence of a reference system so far, health institutions have no precise record of disease, although medical staff is obliged by law to report the National Institute of Public Health. /rel/
