The issue of social insurance card

• At present there is no legal pressure to
  introduce health insurance card
• every Hungarian citizen is entitled to care
• there is one payer
• EU !
• Instead of the classical data card function,
  the modern approach lies in the key card
  function
• Card-related expenses are a fraction of the
  expenses that the card incurs, the real cost
  involves the system behind
• Multifunctional card is needed rather than a
  purely health insurance card
• health insurance information
• health care information
• information of related areas (social affairs,
  pension, etc.)       

11
Suggested functions of the health card

• Authentication area
• Area of permanent health data (EU normatives)
• Transactional area (last prescriptions,
  referrals, etc.)
• Area(s) defined by special users
• Electronic purse function (e.g. drug budget of
  patients receiving free care)
• Health funds, proprietary data of supplementary
  health insurance (identification, entitlement,
  services, etc.)
• Data of special groups of diseases (patients of
  renal, immunological, SM diseases, etc.)
• Data of special organisations and functions (e.g.
  donor card, area of blood donors)
• Data of bonus systems

The basic principles of MEDINFOs information
policy

• Sector neutrality
• (the provision system consists not only of
  providers and services financed by the National
  Health Insurance Fund)
• Multipurpose data
• (data must be collected in an integrated way,
  not according to users of data)
• Data should appear as the by-product of normal
  documentation processes
• (rather than as independent reports)

15
Goals of the knowledge centre programme

• Information arising in health care and
  determining health status should be organised
  into an integrated system

  collectors in health care
• Utilisation of data, securing their utility
