An insight into efforts to establish computerization and e-services for public health in Croatia

A comprehensive project of public health care computerization and introduction of e-services is under way in Croatia. The paper presents a case study describing some recent health-related computerization efforts and a current project concept encompassing the primary health care, central server of public health for the whole country and computerization of hospitals. For the primary health care five systems, distributed regionally, have been selected after a public bidding and evaluation on pilot projects. A solution for the central health server has been selected after the public bidding as well and it is under development. For hospitals, four systems were initially selected for pilot projects. Two of them have survived after more than a year of developments which made part of the bidding process. They differ substantially because one of the systems is based on a world renowned ERP solution, while the other reflects local proprietary development.
