Sažetak
The aim of this survey was to evaluate the state of implementation of guidelines and decision support systems within the EHR applications in Croatian family practice. The survey was conducted using electronic and paper based ques-tionnaires which were formed in accordance to European best practice. Obtained survey results are showing number of im-provement areas, which relate to both existing applications, as well as doctors' knowledge about qualities and possibilities of the guideline-based decision support systems. What we see as the foundation in this process is implementation of open stan-dards such as HL7 in combination with open source technolo-gies, which could significantly improve the overall situation. Continuous education of doctors and health authorities about the possibilities and needs for use of those systems is essential in the adoption process.
