Analysis of health professionals and patients opinions about information systems in public health through a sociological survey.

Aim: The global priority for strengthening the health system is the need to improve health information systems. The effectiveness of medical institutions work depends on the statistical data processing quality and speed, which makes the use of information systems in health care currently relevant. Experimental: 1233 respondents took part in the sociological survey, including 352 health professionals working with AIS (Automated Information System "Polyclinic"), " Attached Population Register" (APR), Electronic Dispensary Patient Register (EDPR). Result and Discussion: 70.4% responded - "significantly improved" to the question about improving the organization of medical care in health care facilities after the introduction of information systems. And, also we have studied the "Electronic Dispensary Patient Register (EDPR)" portal, where 881 patients (18-63 years old) with arterial hypertension are on dispensary registration. Conclusion: Results of sociological surveys on health informatization have shown that information systems in health-care facilitate access to information, save time for medical personnel, improve management of work processes and improve the efficiency of medical institutions.
