PERSPEKTIVE RAZVOJA E-ZDRAVSTVA U KONTEKSTU E-UPRAVE
PERSPECTIVES OF E-HEALTH DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF E-GOVERNANCE

Summary/Abstract: The development of information technologies (IT) has inevitably affected the domain of public administration, and within it, the domain of public health, and accordingly the concepts of digital or e-governance and e-health have arisen. E-governance is the infrastructure that is built to transform the execution of public administration competence, the direct effects of which are reflected in the cost efficiency of public administration tasks, significant savings in the areas of representation, collection of public revenues, and stronger connection between public administration and citizens. E-health in the public sector primarily includes the use of IT in the context of more efficient, better quality and more comprehensive delivery of health services, reforming the relationship with end users of health services. In addition to the advantages that e-government and e-health systems undeniably bring, there are also certain challenges of a technical, economic, legal and social nature that the implementation of such systems faces. The issues of data exchange, protection of personal data, and availability of services within e-health and standardization of services are just some of the aspects that must be taken into account when analyzing the benefits and drawbacks of the use of information technologies in these domains.
