By the end of 2030, health authorities aim to fully develop and implement the Electronic Health Record, so that 80% of patients interacting with the public system will have a digitized, secure, and accessible medical history. This goal is included in the project of the National Program for Digitization and Innovation in Health 2026-2030, proposed for public consultations, reports IPN.
The Ministry of Health specifies that, currently, only 25% of medical documentation is fully digital. The lack of interoperability between information systems leads to data fragmentation, repeated input of information, and administrative duplications, affecting the efficiency and quality of data. Without a secure and standardized data exchange, the electronic health record is not fully functional, limiting quick access to patients’ history.
According to the Ministry of Health, the implementation of an integration platform is critical for consolidating these data flows, reducing errors, and ensuring a complete and up-to-date picture of the patients’ health status.
Also, the program provides for the establishment, by the end of 2027, of a digital mechanism for expressing and managing informed consent regarding the use of medical data, with full respect for the rights of individuals.
At the same time, according to the program, by 2030, at least 50% of medical institutions will provide telemedicine services, and 30% of citizens will use integrated applications for access to medical data, appointments, notifications, and communication with medical staff.
