In a series of recent projects, Ericsson and a range of industry partners are laying the foundation for smart, sustainable cities around the world. Our IoT platform and cloud capabilities have formed the backbone of several transformational projects.

Within the project “Living Healthy”, run by the Croatian Institute of Public Health (CIPH) and co-financed by the European Social Fund, a team of CIPH experts visited our company and evaluated the work environment. The evaluation covers seven areas, which all achieved high scores. Companies included in the project have access to educational modules for further improvement of occupational health. The first of a series of educational events in the company will begin as soon as this month, when a team of CIPH experts will offer their advice and support to employees through promotion of healthy lifestyles.

The opening ceremony for the project “Development and implementation of the IT system for monitoring of the implementation of the General Administrative Procedures Act (GAPA)” financed from the EU IPA FFRAC 2012 fund in which Ericsson Nikola Tesla is tasked with the development of the mentioned system was held yesterday at the Ministry of Public Administration of the Republic of Croatia.

Traditionally, this summer as well, graduate students of numerous faculties from Croatia and abroad worked in Zagreb and Split in Ericsson Nikola Tesla Summer Camp.

Along with eHealth Record, which will be available on a national level from September 1, the portal for patients will also contribute to a more effective communication between the patients and the healthcare system. The Portal will act as a form of a “window”, giving patients an overview of their personal eHealth Record. Furthermore, this solution will remove some of the burden from the doctors, as it will enable them to manage administrative issues more effectively.

The trial run for eHealth Record and eHZZO portal for patients that starts from 1 September is a further demonstration of the latest eHealth technological solutions being introduced into the national healthcare system, all to the benefit of Croatian patients, healthcare professionals and the system as a whole. These important steps on the way to extended digitalisation of the healthcare system will ensure a higher standard of health services, better controlled and rational operations, that is, the sustainability of the healthcare system.
