The E-Health Strategy and Claims Management project in Azerbaijan has concluded, offering the Azerbaijani government various policy options and recommendations. The initiative aimed to improve the efficiency of the healthcare system while reducing costs linked to a mandatory insurance program.
Key accomplishments of the project include an analysis of Azerbaijan's digital health information system, which identified areas needing improvement. The project also assessed current eHealth regulations and recommended legislative changes to facilitate better data sharing. Additionally, it evaluated provider payment methods and suggested enhancements.
Support was provided for ongoing healthcare reforms toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Furthermore, the claims management system was reviewed, leading to proposed improvements in financial and clinical information systems.
Overall, the project laid a foundation for modernizing Azerbaijan's healthcare system and enhancing its financial sustainability.
