The role of the health care facility specialists and IT support are very crucial. They play an important key player in medical support. The list of functions of IT support for a healthcare institution or organization to which Medical IT support has been out sourced has been acquired following view:
Definition (together with the management of the institution) of an IT work plan (policy).
- Designing the IT infrastructure of healthcare facilities.
- Organization of acquisition / receipt of computer equipment (SVT), computer accessories, consumables (development of specifications, selection of suppliers, preparation of tenders and tenders, etc.) (Naturally, if these tasks are assigned to health facilities and are not performed centrally).
MAINTENANCE OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS: Consulting users on the work of medical information systems used in the institution. Setting up MIS, importing directories of services provided, setting up lists of system users.

This long list of tasks services provided by IT support, which the health facilities themselves have determined, is not accidental here. Some officials responsible for informatization need to finally understand that:
Solving informatization problems without creating a service infrastructure is unrealistic,
A pair of yesterday’s employee temporarily attached to health facilities for the period of implementation of individual systems, most of the issues will not be resolved; seconded employee will leave – and who will stay to work?
The transition to “cloud” solutions will not cancel the availability of IT-specialists as Medical IT support.
The above list is not a dogma, but a “constructor”, which contains the most often “used” positions. A specific medical facility may remove unnecessary or add something necessary in the context of its specificity. However, most hospitals will sooner or later and from their own experience come to this (or close) list. But, hardly, the state is interested in endless experimentation, which takes enormous temporary and financial resources.
