[Rapid development of a uniform computerized health information system in the Zenica-Doboj Canton]

It is very expensive and long-termed process to establish a complex information system, and it requires to include large number of people and processing of large number of information. As I believe that health economics and management are the key factors for maintaining health system, I think that it is now essential to create information system which will, above all, ensure accurate and prompt information to the health managers. Therefore, I suggest building of a cheaper variant of the information system which could be upgrated, and which will involve, on this stage, small number of health workers. Computerized part of this information system would be built in several levels. At each of these levels data for the needs of health statistics, economic-financial activities, and management would be processed. Communication within information system, on this stage, would be enabled through telephone lines and modems. The system would work "off line". The change of data would be carried out periodically.
