INFORMATIZATION OF HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS
Key objectives for implementing the informatization program in health care of the Republic of Belarus have been formulated. It should be noted that health information systems aimed at automating the diagnostic and treatment process by means of the automated workplaces (AWP) for medical personnel are widely used within a local network at the outpatient health care institutions. As of the beginning of 2014 local area networks have been available at more than 77% of outpatient health care institutions throughout the country. AWP "Registry", AWP "Statistics", and AWP "Dispensary" have been installed at 100%, 86% and 80% of outpatients health care institutions, accordingly. An automated information system "General practitioner" has been installed and widely used at the outpatients' clinics and sector hospitals. A corporative telecommunication network and a universal information space of the health care system of the city have been set up in Minsk. Telemedicine centers are operating in the regions. Here much work has been done in order to incorporate health care institutions into a universal information space. It has been emphasized that a creation of the standard automated information system of a new generation "Smart Electronic Health Care Institution" based on the modern information (including WEB-technology) and wireless telecommunication technologies will be a perspective for informatization of the health care institutions.
