The three main advantages for patients are:
- reducing reimbursement delays by 60%;
- limiting unnecessary trips;
- having access to medical information by authorized physicians and healthcare providers at all times.
The advantages for doctors are:
- online information about authorized and reimbursed drugs;
- computer-assisted prescription writing;
- online examination results foreshadowing the online medical record consultation.
The main advantages for the health system are:
- reduced processing time;
- automating of tasks by more than 50%;
- drastic reduction in fraud which plagues healthcare systems worldwide.
Finally, the project allowed meetings and discussions which helped doctors responsible for medical procedures increase their confidence in the social security system.
