[Problems in improving information supply in the public health administration]

Area of Science:

• Public Health
• Health Informatics

Context:

• Current statistical reporting for curative and preventive institutions is time-consuming and resource-intensive.
• Existing reporting systems may contain duplicative and insufficiently informative data.
• There is a need to align reporting with the future needs of public health management over the next 8-10 years.

Purpose:

• To address the necessity of significantly reducing annual statistical reporting burdens.
• To optimize the information supply for public health management.
• To propose solutions for improving the efficiency of health data collection and utilization.

Summary:

• The study highlights the excessive time and resources spent on preparing current annual statistical reports from healthcare institutions.
• It advocates for a broader approach to optimize public health information systems, considering future development prospects.
• Recommendations include reducing uninformative and redundant reporting forms and tables, and increasing the adoption of paperless informatics systems.

Impact:

• Streamlined reporting processes can free up valuable time and resources within healthcare institutions.
• Optimized information systems can lead to more effective public health management and decision-making.
• The integration of paperless systems can enhance data accuracy, accessibility, and overall efficiency in the health sector.
