As the mental health reform continues, new developments in the mental health data management system are foreseen. A new e-Health subsystem will be launched, which will allow mental health data to be managed digitally in one place. Under the new arrangements, data currently entered by doctors in internal information systems or on paper forms will now have to be put into the e-Health system. However, all the data contained therein will only be accessible to psychiatrists. Meanwhile, other healthcare professionals will only be able to see part of the mental health data: diagnosis, treatment provided and risk factors.
Although the public debate points out that the inclusion of still stigmatized illnesses in e-Health records could have negative consequences for the patient, the changes are being justified on the grounds of ensuring effectiveness and coordination. However, it remains possible for patients to register anonymously for a consultation for certain diagnoses, such as mild and moderate depression, neurotic disorders, eating disorders, etc.
