National Cardiological Network: easier access to heart treatment and coordinated care

The act establishes the National Cardiological Network to provide patients with faster and better-organized cardiovascular care. A key improvement is the electronic Cardiological Care Card (e-KOK), which enables diagnostics and treatment without traditional referrals and provides patients with a personal care coordinator.
Key points
Treatment without referral: Patients with suspected heart disease will have access to rapid diagnostics and treatment based on the electronic e-KOK card, without needing a traditional referral.
Personal care coordinator: In higher-level cardiological centers, patients will be assigned a coordinator to guide them through all stages of treatment.
Electronic Cardiological Care Card (e-KOK): This new digital document will streamline the flow of medical data between doctors and ensure continuity of care.
Three levels of hospitals: Medical facilities will be classified into three levels of care, making it easier to direct patients to the most suitable clinics.
Quality control: Hospitals will be evaluated based on treatment outcomes, and underperforming facilities must improve or risk losing their network status.
Implementation timeline: The new IT system will launch within 2 years, and the mandatory use of e-KOK cards will start on January 1, 2028.
