The information system of the Mother and Child Institute will be unified and optimized and the patients will have access to their electronic health records, including from outside the institution, owing to a Moldovan-Romanian cooperation agreement in the field.
Asked by IPN to provide details, Mother and Child Institute director Sergiu Gladun said the cooperation agreement with the Romanian side was extended on November 22 and this means they will be able to work on the creation of a unified information system at the Institute during the next three years. This system will include all the existing systems.
“We have software for patient electronic records, for communication with the National Health Insurance Company, for accounting, but these systems are not compatible between then. We will first of all work to adjust our software to the new requirements,” stated Sergiu Gladun.
According to the director, the hospital will be outfitted with last-generation electronic equipment, servers for storing electronic information, printers, scanners and Wi-Fi that will be brought from Romania. Investments of up to €3 million lei are projected to be made. The company that will perform the works is also from Romania.
As a result of the optimization of the information system, the patients will have access to the electronic health records, including from outside the institution, but the personal data will be protected.
Under the Moldovan-Romanian agreement of cooperation in the modernization of the Mother and Child Institute that was signed in 2014, there were renovated and equipped ten wards of the Institute, three of which with last-generation medical devices. Three halls, four stairs and two elevators were repaired and a microbiology and clinical immunology laboratory was modernized.
