In October 2019, the Ministry of Health issued an order on the new architecture of Lithuanian eHealth system, replacing the one existing from 2011. The new system has a portal for patients, health care workers and pharmacists, as well as a mobile application for patients and nurses delivering home care. The system also has a number of sub-systems for various purposes, including administrative, e-prescribing, audit and analysis, prevention services and services for pregnant women and newborns, medical imaging, support from clinical decisions, etc. The eHealth system is linked to other registries and information systems within the health sector (e.g. compulsory health insurance registry, primary care registers, health care personnel and provider licensing registries, medical products registry, etc.) as well as other national information systems (including residents’ and legal entities’ registries, social insurance system and others).
As with the previous system, there is data exchange between various information systems within the health sector. On top of that, the new system allows direct interaction with information systems and registers outside the health sector.
