Project "The Healthy Municipality": Operation of the digital municipal health platform

A digital municipal health platform and digital data base with patient cards and digital alert system for the effective management of health information and the effective response of health services was elaborated within project “Policies For Enhancing Access to Health Services in Deprived Areas”, with acronym "The Healthy Municipality", financed under INTERREG V-A "Greece- Bulgaria 2014-2020" Cooperation Programme.

The platform is part of the pilot project activities and aims to serve the needs of patients and all stakeholders (municipal administration, doctors, including GPs, etc.) from Krumovgrad and Momchilgrad Municipality. It will serve as a tool for managing and controlling the health of the residents of the municipalities, through exchange of data between patient and municipality, patient and doctor, doctor and patient, doctor and municipality.

Its application will achieve the following goals:
- the creation and maintenance of digital health records of the citizens from Municipality of Momchilgrad and Krumovgrad;
- processing data from the digital health records by different criteria, in order to analyze and evaluate the frequency of diseases in the target region;
- implementation of a timely system for automatic notification of users of the platform.

The developed digital municipal health platform will allow registered citizens to fill in, edit and/ or add new information to their personal digital patient cards, as well as allow medical specialists to review the data recorded in their electronic health record.
