Abstract
20 project partners – the major Lithuanian Hospitals and Primary Care Centres - implemented an Electronic Patient Appointment Reservation System within a project, which was supported by the European Union Structural Funds (budget of 2.1 million EURO).
The EU support was used for developing and adding new features to the Patient Appointment Reservation System of Vilnius University Hospital and spreading it nationwide. The system is based on modern mobile and information technologies, such as SMS, Mobile Sync, web services etc.
The project improved the national health care system in Lithuania with the greatest direct impact on patient comfort and accessibility of health care services. Appointment reservation became more transparent and more effective. Patients are satisfied using all possibilities of appointment reservation: Internet, mobile or wired phone, as well as using medical staff assistance.
