Synopsis

In 2015, the National Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia (NIJZ) assumed responsibility for managing the solutions of eHealth project. Since then, eHealth services have undergone continuous upgrades and enhancements. The scope of their usage has steadily expanded, along with the range of content and functionalities available to both patients and healthcare professionals. Despite the challenges NIJZ faced in introducing innovative solutions at the national level, the services have been successfully implemented. Today, these eHealth services play a crucial role in supporting healthcare providers and facilitating electronic access to health records for the entire population. The most significant achievement of the Slovenian eHealth is its full population coverage, representing one of the few rare examples worldwide. This paper describes the main characteristics and achievements of the eHealth solutions, including ePrescription, the zVEM patient portal, the zVEM+ healthcare professionals portal, eAppointment, the Central Registry of Patient Data, the eHeath Users Database, Teleradiology and TeleStroke. In addition, it presents data illustrating their usage.
