The Italian-Croatian bilateral plans and projects for telemedicine and health informatics

A number of opportunities succeeded in the last year permitted to us to establish a rather strong and spread collaboration in the fields of telemedicine and health informatics between Italy and Croatia. Things started at the beginning of 1999, with a collaboration of all three of us on a common interest in the field of electronic medical records. The project was to share the experience of Trieste on the Project DPACS (Data & Picture Archiving and Communication System), developed at the University of Trieste, which final goal is the "integrated virtual clinical card of the citizen" with other medical record projects started in Rijeka and at the University of Zagreb. Since the standards and formats for health cards are not unique within the European Union jet, and therefore it is very important to enable mutual access to patient data through health cards at least in neighboring regions, also this aspect was included.
