By undertaking the digitization of its archives, INFORM is paving the way for a new era in healthcare, prioritizing immediate and effective patient care.

A Landmark Collaboration

INFORM, in collaboration with other companies, has taken on the sectional digitization of the archives of the Public Health System, a project being implemented following a tender and funded by the Recovery Fund.

Goal: Improved Patient Care

At the heart of the project lies the digitization and electronic management of the historical record of patient files in healthcare units across Greece. The digitization of over 197 million pages and images, including medical records, X-rays, and ECG/EEG films, will provide immediate and secure access to critical medical information for authorized users.

Benefits for Patients and the Health System

The completion of the project will bring to the fore a range of benefits, both for patients and the health system:

• Improved Care: Immediate access to medical data will lead to faster and more efficient healthcare services, improving the quality of care for patients.

• Reduced Costs: Avoiding duplicate tests and improved data management will lead to resource savings and cost reductions for the health system.

• Modernization: Digitization will bring the Public Health System into the digital age, improving its organization and efficiency.

Manolis Kontos, Group CEO of AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG, said: "We are extremely proud to be carrying out this landmark project that will transform the Public Health System. Digitization will bring significant benefits to patients, improving the quality and efficiency of care."
