The existence of large amounts of data in healthcare brings a critical group of those that are key. These in turn simplify the work of health professionals and at the same time improve health care. As is the case, for example, with electronic prescription.

Innovative services and digitization have unlocked the possibilities of providing more efficient and targeted healthcare. Value-added services for the benefit of the patient and with the aim of increasing quality and efficiency are the right tool for reducing costs and improving the healthcare provided.

What happens when a doctor enters information into the system? For example, if he prescribes a prescription with a drug, a seemingly simple transfer of information to a central repository occurs. This is then available at the pharmacy. However, simplicity is only apparent, because along the way this information reaches many places where it is processed and especially checked and evaluated. This will, of course, be done electronically and automatically. Expert systems and many other control mechanisms will be used, among others. The result is - more efficient use of resources for safer drug treatment. Once this benefit became widely known, especially among physicians, electronic prescriptions covered MORE THAN 90% of all prescriptions.

Hospitals in Slovakia are currently facing difficult challenges. In addition to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, they need to drastically reconsider their current process management. How can electronization help them move from the "paper age" to the digital one? The solution is modern IT technologies and systems that will comprehensively help them become an efficient hospital in all aspects. By using these systems, doctors and medical staff are relieved of lengthy and demanding administrative activities. The benefit of digitizing hospital systems is to ensure not only better diagnostics and patient care, but also more efficient financial management.
