The Bulgarian Ministry of Health has initiated plans to develop a medical care quality assessment system. Integrated into the National Health Information System (NHIS), this mechanism aims to use data analysis to identify service gaps and improve healthcare delivery in alignment with OECD requirements. Minister of Health Katya Ivkova noted that the system will currently serve an analytical function rather than influencing facility funding.

Concurrently, the Regional Health Inspection (RZI) has implemented a new electronic platform to streamline health oversight. This system integrates various databases, such as the Register of Biocides and the public register of facilities with public purpose. The platform has already recorded over 7,600 inspections, facilitating direct recording of findings by inspectors and providing automated data updates for citizens and businesses.
