QUESTIONNAIRE:

We would like to remind you that it is still possible to fill in the questionnaire on line on the SICCR’s web site.

The questionnaire is based on the collection of information regarding the use of informatic technology on behalf of doctors in the hospitals where they work.

The compilation of the questionnaire is important for a better vision of the technological structure in the medical environment and where it is possible to improve services offered.

All this is possible thanks only to your collaboration.
