The new platform, created in cooperation between Medicover Polska and Asseco Poland, will ensure the automation of booking and confirming visits to cooperating institutions and the settlement of fees for medical services, also available online.

The new solution will introduce a number of facilitations in the process of providing health care services. Ultimately, the networks which will benefit from the solution will also be able to manage electronic medical records through it. This will translate into faster diagnosis and the access to data and improved quality of patient care.

The new technological revolution is a great opportunity for the Polish economy, but we need much more courageous contracting authorities on the part of the public administration. We can provide ourselves and next generations with a high quality of life and the opportunity to work in companies that will create innovative solutions with high added value. Whether or not this happens depends very much on how we use the opportunities offered by new technologies. Public administration, health, education, armed forces and energy must be leaders in the use of new technologies and their implementation in Poland. This will allow domestic IT companies to develop their products and build competitive advantage on an international scale - these are the most important conclusions of the Sobieski Institute's report, which has been prepared in cooperation with Asseco Poland.
