Deputy Health Minister Maria Karchevych has outlined the major hurdles facing the newly implemented digital system for assessing daily functioning. The system, designed to replace the outdated medical and social expert commissions (MSECs), is grappling with significant challenges. Among these, document forgery has emerged as a critical issue, complicating the verification process. Additionally, the presence of obsolete paper files that cannot be efficiently digitized poses further difficulties in streamlining the assessment process.
Karchevych emphasized that these problems are not merely technical but also procedural. The inability to reconcile digital records with existing physical documents is creating bottlenecks in the evaluation of individuals’ daily functioning. This has raised concerns about the system’s effectiveness in providing timely and accurate assessments. Stakeholders are now calling for urgent solutions to address these issues and ensure the system can meet its intended objectives.
The challenges have also sparked discussions about the need for better integration of digital technologies in administrative processes. Experts suggest that investing in advanced digitization tools and implementing stricter verification protocols could help mitigate the problems. However, without immediate action, the system’s credibility and efficiency may continue to be undermined, affecting the lives of those undergoing the assessments.
