Objectives:
Improving the system and methods of collecting
data related to the adherence level is one of the biggest
problems not only in measuring the level of non –
adherence, but also in assessing its impact on all
participants in the health care system. An innovative
approach to the application of existing methods using
the information systems (IS) can in many ways help to
increase the volume and reliability of data.
Implementation (ICT) in Sarajevo Canton can be a pilot
project in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), or in
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), as an
opportunity to improve the methods of collecting data
related to non-adherence level, by obtaining more
precise and accurate information about the role and
importance of adherence in the health system, without
investing significant financial resources.
Methods:
Comparison of the method of measuring the degree
of adherence of the previous research results in the
world and the practical application of the health system
in the Sarajevo Canton.
Results:
Applying modern information technologies (IT)
and information systems (IS), together with the creation
of a unique data collection methodology with a number
of sources, obtained through various methods, it is
possible to obtain data and information from much
larger sample with different characteristics (economic,
social , demographic, type of disease, therapy, etc.).
Conclusion:
By improving data collection methods, it is possible
to get accurate and precise data on the adherence level,
or provide a better insight into the role and importance
of adherence.
