Weronika Szkwarek

The agreement of the medical organizations acknowledged that the mandatory introduction of electronic medical exemptions would lead to a disruption of the provision of health services and the availability of patients. However, the president of the Social Insurance Institution is of a different opinion.

As the conversation between Dziennik Gazeta Prawna and Gertrud Uścińska shows, the social insurance institution is well prepared for the introduction of mandatory electronic medical exemptions. The medical organization agreement issued a position in which it says:

"The abolition of the electronic exemption can be introduced voluntarily and developed only if the staff is fully functional, the equipment is secure and the information system organized for this purpose. (…) Premature introduction of proposed solutions by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Social Security and ZUS will disrupt the health service delivery system, especially in POZ and AOS, and the limitation of availability for patients, as well as the flight of system, may expose the disclosure of medical secrecy, "reads OZZL website.

In an interview with "DGP", Uścińska stated that ZUS is prepared in case doctors do not take sick leave after 1 December. – Do not go over the facts. The fact that ZUS is prepared for various solutions does not mean that they will take place. I believe everything will work as planned and that no emergency plan will be triggered – he said in an interview with "DGP". The question of whether, in case of non-publication of such a publication, the ZUS will conduct an audit, the chairman of the ZUS responds: "Do not overdo it." It is not a question of scaring anyone with the possibility of control. not by coercion, but by encouragement and help, as evidenced by the fact that nearly 110,000 doctors authorized to make redundancies have a profile recorded on the ZUS electronic services platform, which allows to issue e-ZLA. start-ups do not hold, which does not mean, again, I will emphasize that we are not prepared for various events. "

"Our research shows that a large portion of doctors, who do not publish e-ZLA today, are waiting for Dec. 1 and say that as of today, they will begin publishing electronic newsletters. It takes about 20 seconds and the ZUS electronic system excludes errors The advantage for the patient lies in the absence of the obligation to dismiss the employer The advantage for the employer is to benefit from the exemption of rescue, "Uścińska says in a conversation with the daily.
