The government plans to create an application for a public health care system. Thanks to it, the patient will be able to sign up for a doctor and cancel a visit. Dr. Anna Gawrońska, an expert in the management of the flow of medical products, estimates that currently the data obtained from health care is used only fragmentary.
Key facts:
- Changes in this matter were announced this year by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
- Users of the new application would receive SMSs with reminders of the visit and the possibility of canceling it.
- He will find more information about health tvn24.pl.

At the end of April Prime Minister Donald Tusk He announced about 120 laws as part of deregulation. It is planned to create an application for a public health care system.
Dr. Anna Gawrońska, an expert in the management of the flow of medical products, notes that electronic registration (e-registration) assumes the use of data from various medical facilities. He emphasizes that these data will have to be standardized, because e-registration is a tool in which the data is updated, e.g. with a free date when the patient cancels the visit.
He adds that currently even if a given medical facility digitizes data, it does not exchange data with other facilities.
Hospital systems do not exchange data
“There is no data exchange between different systems. Either they are reported fragmentary to P1 (e -health system), or there are medical facilities that do not fulfill this obligation at all. We boast that we are the fifth country in Europe in terms of digitization of health protection, but from a practical, utility point of view, these data are useless or used,” assesses Gawrońska.
It turns out that doctors have a big problem to consult the results of medics from another hospital. Gawrońska said that doctors can often not send them because of the file size and the need to encrypt this data.
“In practice, data exchange does not work” – he adds.
Central e-registration for now only in the pilot
The Ministry of Health announces the introduction of central electronic registration. Currently, a pilot is underway, in which you can register electronically for free cytology, mammography or first visit to a cardiologist. Selected medical facilities take part in the pilot. Central e-registration can be used via the patient's online account or in the Mojeikp application.
According to the European Commission report “Digital Decade 2024: Examination of the e-Zdrowia indicator”, Poland is among the five European Union countries that provide citizens with access to e-health data in the most complete way. Belgium (100 %) in the first place, and on subsequent dishes (98 percent), Estonia (98 percent), Lithuania (95 percent).
