Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The transformation of healthcare in Kosovo hinges on the effective management of information systems, which play a pivotal role in enhancing patient care, operational efficiency, and decision-making capabilities.This study examines the critical role of Information System Management (ISM) in reforming Kosovo's healthcare sector.Drawing on global practices and examples from transition countries, the research highlights the integration of advanced health information technologies and health informatics as fundamental to achieving significant improvements in healthcare delivery.By addressing challenges such as resistance to change, data security, and the need for continuous professional training, this study offers strategic recommendations for the effective implementation of ISM.From a financial perspective, ISM implementation promises substantial benefits, including reduced administrative costs, minimized redundant procedures, optimized billing and coding accuracy, and improved inventory management.Additionally, the future establishment of a Health Insurance Fund in Kosovo will benefit from ISM through efficient claims processing, better resource management, and enhanced financial reporting.The findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive approach to ISM, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize healthcare in Kosovo.
