REGIONAL REPOISORY OF ELECTRONIC MEDICAL DATA
About this good practice
As part of the project "Construction of the Kuyavian and Pomeranian System for Providing Access to Electronic Medical Records – Stage I", a system called the REGIONAL REPOISORY OF ELECTRONIC MEDICAL DATA (RREDM) was created. The task of the RREDM, is to provide e-Services in the field of health care, by care units, partners of the project. Through participation in the project, the necessary infrastructure for both the central part and the care units was purchased to provide efficient and secure transport of digital data. It was a core component of the project as the central component is designed not only to collect medical data, but also to secure and exchange them among units.
