A health protection system based on
social health insurance has had a long tradition in
Slovenia. Several forms of health insurance schemes were
implemented from 1896 until 1992, when health care reform
legislation was passed, establishing compulsory health
insurance (CHI). CHI is provided by a single provider the
Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia (HIIS), which is a
public legal entity. Everyone with permanent residency in
Slovenia is covered under the unique CHI scheme, either as a
mandatory member or as a family dependent. The system is
funded through CHI contributions of employees and employers
(for the active population), and other required
contributions (by the self-employed, farmers, pensioners,
etc.). The entire population is insured. Since the
establishment of HIIS in 1992, the implementation of
information and communications technologies (ICTs) to
support key CHI processes has been a matter of strategic
importance. HIIS has developed an information center to
support CHI’s key business processes. Infrastructure,
applications, data, and security systems in the central
public administration are being increasingly integrated to
provide citizens with comprehensive services, and to
facilitate their access to them. E-government is the area in
which the expectations, needs, and habits of citizens are
linked to the business processes of the public sector, as
well as to e-business technological solutions. Because
e-government projects in Slovenia have been introducing
e-business into public administration over the past decade,
the exchange of data between institutions has been improved
and technologically updated. |
