Description

Aim: The collection, administration, processing and distribution of medical data and statistics has a significant impact on the assessment of public health parameters. The aim of this paper is to reflect the real state of monitoring and implementation of legal regulations by the Health Inspectorate of Kosovo regarding the collection, systematization, analysis, reporting, storage and elaboration of medical data and statistics in Kosovo.

Methodology: The research strategy is accompanied by a deductive approach, and it is an appropriate procedure to answer questions such as: Who, what, where and how you are doing it. In this study we used the qualitative method - standardized and semi-standardized interviews with director and inspectors of Health Inspectorate. We have also applied the quantitative method by applying instruments such as questionnaires which are designed for the focus group of specific institutions and disciplines that have been the subject of research work on this paper.

Results: To validate the hypotheses and research questions of this research mixed methodology we used certain instruments. Through questionnaires, we interviewed the health inspectorate as a monitoring and law enforcement mechanism in the health system of Kosovo, and assessed their attitudes towards the current health system regulations in Kosovo. The respondents evaluate the legal framework that regulates and covers the system of health statistics in Kosovo as inadequate.

Conclusions: Findings from research indicate the need to supplement the amendments of a number of basic laws of the health system and other laws that have an impact on improving the quality, increasing the degree of accuracy and useful use of health data and statistics in Kosovo.
