The Electronic Sick Notes and Maternity Leave Certificates Management application system (in Lithuania - EPTS), was developed and implemented in order to computerize the issuing process of sick notes and to improve the services provided by the Fund to the insured during their temporary incapacity to work. This system enables the staff of health care establishments to receive the information automatically about a person's insurance, previously registered periods of incapacity to work and other data required to create the electronic sick notes and maternity leave, sign them by electronic signature and automatically transfer them to the information system of the Fund Board. After implementation of the system on 1 July 2010, in Lithuania paper sick notes were completely eliminated. Using the EPTS is very simple - only a computerized work place with internet access is required. A special interface with EPTS has also been created in order to make it convenient to use for health care establishments, which have their own information systems, so that doctors have no need to switch from one system to another.
