Key CSIOZ projects transforming healthcare in 2025

Contents

The Healthcare Information Systems Center is introducing groundbreaking technological projects in 2025 that will completely change the way medical services are provided in Poland. Modern, accessible digital tools play an important role here, supporting both communication and the availability of information for citizens. These innovative solutions create a coherent digital ecosystem that responds to the most urgent needs of patients and medical personnel. However, this is not all that is worth knowing about this topic.

This article presents the key projects and initiatives that the Center for Health Information Systems is implementing in 2025 and their impact on patients, healthcare workers and the entire healthcare system in Poland.

The P1 system, or the "Electronic Platform for Collection, Analysis and Sharing of Digital Resources on Medical Events", is the basis for the digitalization of Polish healthcare. In 2025, this system will achieve full functionality, enabling comprehensive electronic support of key medical processes.

The main functions of the P1 System include electronic handling of e-prescriptions and e-referrals, providing medical staff with electronic data on the health status of patients and enabling electronic registration for medical services. Thanks to this system, patients gain access to an electronic history of their diagnoses, services, referrals and prescriptions, which significantly facilitates the management of their own health.

In the third phase of development, to be completed by the end of 2026, the P1 System is being expanded with additional e-services, such as electronic handling of e-pregnancy cards, e-child health cards and e-laboratory test orders. These solutions bring tangible benefits in the form of time savings for medical personnel, cost reduction and improved quality of patient care.

The breakthrough project for 2025 is the Intelligent Services Platform (ISP), which, thanks to advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, supports doctors in diagnostic processes, optimizes medical data management and improves the availability of services for patients.

The platform provides doctors with access to AI tools supporting the analysis of X-rays (X-rays), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which translates into greater precision of diagnoses and shorter waiting times for results. Currently, only 13.2% of hospitals in Poland use AI, mainly in the analysis of computed tomography. With PUI, the e-Health Center aims to significantly increase the use of artificial intelligence in medical facilities.

In practice, hospitals will be able to send an image for diagnosis, and the system will take care of its anonymization and transfer to the selected supplier. After being described, the data will return to the platform, where personal data will be overlaid and sent back to the facility.

The Patient's Internet Account (IKP) is gaining a number of new functionalities in 2025. It is a free tool available to every PESEL number holder, which collects previously scattered medical information in one place.

Among the new functions is the possibility of checking the right to treatment under the National Health Fund insurance via the mojeIKP application. The system displays the status "green" (confirmation of the right to benefits) or "red" (no confirmation). IKP also provides access to full electronic medical documentation, laboratory test results with descriptions, information on prescribed drugs and an individual medical care plan. Patients can also order an e-prescription for permanent drugs, obtain a cross-border e-prescription and fill out a medical event assessment survey.

Digital support for healthcare support institutions

Digital transformation applies not only to hospitals and clinics, but also to the broad ecosystem of institutions cooperating with the healthcare system. Foundations, non-governmental organizations and local government units are increasingly involved in health promotion, patient education and facilitating access to services. Their presence in the digital space is becoming crucial for effective operation and reaching recipients.

In this context, an extremely useful tool is an institution- and NGO-friendly website creator , which allows you to easily build modern, accessible and WCAG-compliant websites. Thanks to the intuitive interface and technical support, even small organizations can professionally present their activities and quickly respond to the needs of the community.

The daily work of medical personnel involves numerous administrative duties that take up valuable time that could be devoted to patients. The Center for Healthcare Information Systems implements solutions that significantly improve the work of doctors and nurses, allowing them to focus on what is most important - caring for the sick.

Reducing administrative burdens through automation

Administrative burdens pose a serious challenge for medical personnel who must spend a significant amount of time filling out forms and preparing various reports. In response to this problem, CSIOZ implements automation systems that eliminate human errors and shorten the time needed to complete processes.

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) provide healthcare providers with quick access to patient data, which facilitates care coordination and reduces the risk of medical errors. This allows physicians to quickly share medical information across multiple facilities, resulting in better quality care.

Automation has also covered patient registration processes, which were traditionally time-consuming and error-prone. Digital robots allow for faster acquisition and analysis of patient data, which results in greater efficiency of the entire medical team.

Tools supporting diagnostics and decision-making

The breakthrough solution offered by CSIOZ is clinical decision support systems that help doctors improve the precision of diagnosis and the safety of treatment. An example of such a tool is UpToDate, which offers answers to questions within 12,000 clinical issues and contains over 9,500 recommendations based on scientific evidence.

In 2025, CSIOZ is implementing the Physician Decision Support System, which aggregates data from various devices performing medical measurements. This system processes the patient's laboratory and imaging test documentation, intelligently searching for, among others, neoplastic changes or indications for diabetes.

What’s more, AI has been shown to be 10 times faster than humans at creating administrative notes, with similar accuracy. In addition, software such as XRAIT diagnoses osteoporosis from X-rays much more accurately than the most experienced doctors.

The e-health system (P1) supports the daily work of healthcare entities and medical staff, contributing to increasing the efficiency of their work through faster access to medical data, which results in more accurate diagnosis and therapy.

Digital transformation in healthcare, led by the Center for Healthcare Information Systems, is fundamentally changing patient experiences. Modern technological solutions introduce practical improvements that translate into tangible benefits for citizens.

Easier access to medical services

Thanks to digital solutions, patients gain faster and more convenient access to the healthcare system. E-health improves the efficiency of healthcare, raises its quality and ensures equal access to medical services. Telemedicine enables remote medical consultations, which is particularly important for people living in rural areas or with limited mobility.

In addition, e-consultations reduce the need for travel, saving time and money. According to the data, remote video calls allow you to be at home during the consultation, which many patients prefer, especially when receiving disturbing news.

Personalizing healthcare through data analytics

Each patient has unique health needs, medical history, and risk factors. Advanced algorithms and analysis of massive data sets allow doctors to more accurately diagnose, predict disease progression, and tailor treatment to individual needs.

Big data enables more effective therapy and process optimization in medical facilities. Patient data analysis enables:

• Creating personalized treatment plans

• Identifying risk factors and more effective prevention

• Real-time health monitoring

More control over your own health

Thanks to the Internet Patient Account (IKP), citizens gain access to their medical data, treatment history and test results. This allows them to actively manage their own health and make informed decisions. E-prescriptions, e-referrals and e-certifications increase safety by minimizing the risk of errors resulting from illegible writing. At the same time, they increase convenience, because the patient does not need to have a paper document.

Patients also gain quick access to full electronic medical records and laboratory test results with descriptions. For the chronically ill or seniors, telemedicine enables remote health monitoring, which translates into better quality care and a greater sense of security.

The ongoing digitalization of healthcare brings numerous benefits, but it also creates challenges that the Healthcare Information Systems Center must address to ensure the efficient functioning of the entire system.

Medical data security

Protecting sensitive medical information is an absolute priority in the digitalization process. In the world of digital transformation, access to medical data seems simple, but it is associated with risks. The Center for Healthcare Information Systems implements advanced technologies such as encryption and authorization to ensure secure data exchange between facilities.

The key is to apply the principle of data minimization – only information that may be important during subsequent medical procedures is transferred. In addition, regular security audits are conducted, which allow for quick detection of any irregularities and minimize the risk of violations.

Education and support for system users

We create digital solutions not only for users, but with users – this is the motto that guides the e-Health Center. Broad education of both patients and medical staff in the use of new technologies is essential.

A particular challenge is supporting older people, who often have difficulty using digital tools. For this group, simplified account activation processes and alternative communication methods, such as text messages, are being considered.

Integration of various IT systems

Integration of IT systems increases patient safety and significantly reduces administrative work. Thanks to the digital flow of information, all interested parties immediately receive the necessary data, which allows for a quick response.

The challenge, however, is to ensure full interoperability and automation of information exchange between different systems. There are still situations in which a patient must provide a printout of tests because a given system is not yet fully integrated with others.

Adaptation to EHDS requirements

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is one of the most important directions of development of digital health care. Its implementation requires the adaptation of Polish systems to European standards by 26 March 2027.

With EHDS, patients will have full control over their health data and decide who can access it. At the same time, electronic health records systems in different countries will be compatible with each other, which will facilitate the exchange of data throughout the EU.

Conclusions

The digital transformation of healthcare in Poland, led by the Center for Health Information Systems, is significantly changing the face of Polish healthcare. The P1 system, together with the Smart Services Platform, create a solid foundation for modern healthcare, providing patients with easier access to services and greater control over their own health.

Medical personnel gain valuable tools to support diagnostics and decision-making, while the automation of administrative processes allows them to focus on what is most important – patient care. At the same time, it is important to remember that the security of medical data remains a key priority. The future of Polish healthcare looks optimistic. Adapting systems to the requirements of the European Medical Data Space will open up new opportunities for international cooperation, providing patients with even better medical care. The success of this transformation depends on the involvement of all participants in the healthcare system – from medical personnel to patients themselves.
