2023: Ministry of Health postponed for a year the transition to electronic medical books due to GIS flaw
The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation postponed the transition to electronic medical books for a year due to a flaw in the relevant state information system. This became known in July 2023.
As Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes with reference to the relevant document of the Ministry of Health, all medical books will become electronic from September 1, 2024, and not in 2023, as previously planned. At the same time, information about such books should be entered in the previously created register of issued medical books.
 | It is allowed to establish that until September 1, 2024, personal medical books issued on paper are allowed to be issued and circulated in accordance with the form in force until the date of entry into force of this order, the document says. |  |
It also follows from it that from September 1, 2023, a transitional period will be introduced, during which both electronic and paper medical books will be valid.
The Ministry of Health announced the possibility of obtaining personal medical books from September 2023 through the portal of state services in February 2022. For their registration, it is planned to use the Federal State Information System of Sanitary and Epidemiological Information (ELMK subsystem). They wanted to take part of the data from the Unified State Information System in the field of health care (Uniform State Health Information System).
It is planned to establish that an employee will be able to apply for the formation of an electronic medical book through the State Public services portal with a statement in the form of an electronic document signed with a simple electronic signature. The order of the Ministry of Health of Russia by mid-August 2023 has so far established the requirement to sign the application with an enhanced unqualified electronic signature.[1]
