The National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU), State Agency for E-Governance in Ukraine, Eurasia Foundation (USAID/UK aid Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services / TAPAS Project) and East Europe Foundation have signed the Memorandum of Cooperation.
As reported on NSAU’s website, the Memorandum provides for efforts to improve availability and quality of Ukraine’s healthcare open data, as well as to optimize and re-engineer the eHealth system’s business processes.
“Ukraine’s healthcare system changes hand-in-hand with e-tools development. We seek to make the changes in the healthcare system comprehensible and the processes friendlier and more efficient. E-tools and e-services are indispensible to our efforts,” said Oleg Petrenko, Head of the National Health Service of Ukraine.
According to Oleksandr Ryzhenko, Head of the State Agency for E-Governance in Ukraine, the Agency’s mission is to scale up the development of online public services.
“Opening data to the people, producing open-data-driven services, implementing online services and building up interaction among electronic resources of public authorities are among the primary objectives of e-governance. It is therefore an absolute priority for the State Agency for E-Governance in Ukraine to facilitate the avenues for e-government delivery and participation to the maximum extent possible,” stressed out Mr Ryzhenko.
The Memorandum provides for:
- posting of NHSU’s data on data.gov.ua open data portal;
- creation of a series of NHSU open-data-based interactive visualizations, in particular to reflect the correlation between the number of declarations signed with primary care physicians and hospital revenues;
- development of new NHSU data-driven e-services and eHealth system’s services.
