“Just as, at the moment, any patient receiving a hospital medical service receives a message asking for a feedback, in a somewhat similar way, when a patient benefits from a medical service, at any level, from family medicine, specialized outpatient, hospital, medical device, pharmacy, a message, a message, and an email The possibility of transmitting additional information such as the settlement he has benefited and also certain feedback mechanisms that can be implemented”, Said CNAS president, according to Agerpres.

He also said that CNAS and the Ministry of Health will make an online platform that will allow the patient to schedule for the type of medical investigation he needs.

“We know that many hospitals and clinics have programming systems. We will make them so that they are interoperable to the system we create“, Moldovan said, at a press conference held at the Victoria Palace.

Doctors will be able to have only two contracts in the hospital environment, not three, as possible today, he indicated.

At the request of the Ministry of Health and from an analysis that we have done from the perspective of the sustainability of the public health system, we have come to the conclusion that we will have to take a measure with the Ministry of Health regarding the limitation of contracting in continuous hospitalization, at least during the following year, with small exceptions, as is a large number.“, Said Horaţiu Moldovan.

According to him, at present, the DRG system (the system of diagnostic groups) does not reflect the costs related to the complexity of hospitalized cases. For this reason, the medical units will be obliged to report the real costs.

“Starting with the following year, all hospitals in Romania, public and private, will be obliged to report the real costs, so that, after the first year of reporting, we will be in the situation where we know exactly how much an appendicitis costs, how much a hernia costs and so we will rethink in the years to finance the hospitals from the perspective of the real costs that it involves”he said.
