Electronic prescribing will reduce paperwork for staff in public healthcare.
"The launch of electronic prescriptions and of electronic referral slips later on will save us HRK 15 million annually," Health Minister Darko Milinovic told Hina on 3 January when the implementation of this project began.
According to Milinovic, some 50 million prescriptions are issued in Croatia annually, which requires 77 tonnes of paper.
