REGISTERS IN THE BULGARIAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: CURRENT STATUS

Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2

Abstract

The role of health registers is to be used for information, analyses and strategic planning purposes. In the countries with well-regulated healthcare the information about diseases, especially major ones, is as accurate and comprehensive as possible, and includes multiple indicators. The goal is the accumulated data to be used not only for administrative purposes. The medical registers may be used for epidemiological research, forecasts and management decision-making, for example for the purposes of prophylactics and early diagnosis, planning of human resources and therapy funds. This overview reviews the available registers in the Bulgarian healthcare system, the legal basis for their creation and regulation. As of the end of April 2018, there are 105 registers in the healthcare system of Bulgaria. Most of them are subject to statutory regulation. There are also some registers without statutory regulation at present. The analysis shows a compromised regulation, formality and impossibility for implementation of the entrusted functions of the registers in the healthcare system. There is a lack of reciprocity in the level of responsibility of the competent authorities and the scope and number of managed registers. While important medical registers are absent, some registers are too and unjustifiably fragmented in some departments. In case of improper regulation the relevant register lacks the required legitimacy, especially in relation to scope, obligation to submit data and funding.
