According to Fars News Agency’s health correspondent, Fatemeh Mohammadbeigi, head of the electronic health committee of the parliamentary health commission, in a specialized meeting on “electronic prescription; “In the middle of the road,” he said about the results of 5 months of the implementation of the electronic prescribing plan: It was slow and sluggish for several years. These issues were raised in the Health Commission as a concern, and after raising this issue, a new committee was formed in the commission to continuously monitor the electronic health record file, and this task was assigned to me.

He continued: “Immediately, a coherent secretariat was formed in this field, and after that, about 80 health experts came together and their expert opinions were used.” The reports of the implemented processes have been collected so far in various institutions and ministries and more than 20 meetings were held specifically in this field with the presence of insurance organizations. Based on the results of these meetings, it was decided to form a comprehensive health movement in the country and the government to form a corresponding camp with the issue of e-health and deviation from legal plans since 1397 due to lack of work and weakness in the Ministry of Health. Was created, to be corrected.

Mohammad Beigi, referring to the lack of work of the Ministry of Health in the field of electronic health records, said: “Unfortunately, those in charge of the Ministry of Health worked poorly and caused compensatory and reactive input from the Executive Technology Council of the Communication Technology Organization.” On the other hand, the existence of special monopolies in outsourcing e-health projects to specific contractors and the lack of insurance support and compliance with joining integrated systems had slowed down this process.

The MP limited the budgets provided by the e-health file and said: “The budgets of the e-health plan were very weak and the manpower of this plan, the Statistics and Communication Technology Organization, the Ministry of Health and the IT Secretariat of the Ministry did not suffice.” To be able to cover the infrastructure of the e-health process. Therefore, in a leap program in the health committee, we formed 5 subgroups of budget, technical, evaluation, monitoring and strategic subgroups to compile a comprehensive document of the electronic health system.

Mohammad Beigi, stating that in the 1401 budget, the budget of the e-health plan has been increased, added: “We dedicated the last quarter of last year to the budget issue and this led to the fact that for the first time about 700 billion tomans of credit in the 1401 annual budget for The leap of e-health and the implementation of all legal tasks in this area should be considered, which shows a 300-fold growth and should lead to a real and measurable leap for the people.

Emphasizing that the cost of health care should be reduced by the people, he said: “Insurance systems should have a reserve of resources and with the full implementation of the electronic version, the loss of their resources should be reduced and the smuggling of drugs and equipment should be stopped.” Be. We need data centers in the country and the provision of appropriate infrastructure by the Ministries of Communications and Information Technology and Silence.

Mohammad Beigi continued: “Unfortunately, in 8 provinces of the country, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is not possible to implement electronic health records, and we gave the Ministries of Silence and Communication the opportunity to provide infrastructure in the one-year budget law.”

The head of the e-health committee of the parliamentary health commission, referring to the presence of startups in the implementation of e-health records, said: “Previously, the capacity of startups in creating electronic health records was not used, but for the first time in Note 17 and its legal duties New digital economy processes and processes have been opened to equip the country’s health economy with the participation of knowledge bases and startups of young scientists. I hope that the leap that has been made in the field of e-health over the past few months, especially after January 1400, will make the country the owner of the e-health system in the world and have a say in the world.
