Q1	In the Saphire project your hospital is one of the two User partners, the other being a hospital from Germany. Do you identify many differences in the practices that are followed in the two organizations? Especially when we have in mind the aims for unifying e-health services in Europe? Listen the answer here
Q2	We all know of the recently held reforms in the health sector of Germany and we are aware of trends that exist for commercialization of health infrastructures and services. Having in mind that Romania had in the past a very controlled, state-driven economy, are there still some good practices that are used or we are at a zero-point in this aspect? Listen the answer here
Q3	Technologies and solutions are extremely important for improving the quality of the health services that a hospital provides to its patients, but, on the other side, there is a need to teach the medical doctors and the staff on how to use these technologies and solutions effectively and with high efficiency. This means that a certain level of capacities and skills need to be developed by the users themselves. Saphire is a research project and it is obvious that this aspect is not easy to be accommodated as such. But do you see any risk regarding a failure in the adoption of the project results simply because of a lack in developing the necessary practices that would lead the deployment of Saphire technologies and solutions? Listen the answer here
Q4	Currently the costs of health care are managed through social security funds, while there is a need that we all feel to decrease costs and rationalize them. Do you think that the patient will be beneficiary of all these attempts or that his/her quality of acquired health services will worsen? Listen the answer here
Q5	Do you think that the adoption and wide deployment of medical guidelines is a matter of technologically advanced projects like Saphire, or also – if not mainly – of projects that are more conventional in terms of facilitating the training of medical staff in the use of these guidelines? Listen the answer here
Q6	In the project we use scenarios for alerting the doctor with sms on a patient’s health condition. I feel that such a scenario is more of a demonstrative nature and will not find real utility within your daily reality. What are the really useful parts of the project that you think can have a direct adoption in a hospital environment? Listen the answer here
Q7	Romania has become the most recent EU member country together with Bulgaria. On the other hand, what you experience there is a brain drain as many young people leave the country to find jobs in other places in Europe. Which incentives do you think that a young medical doctor should have to stay and work in Romania? Listen the answer here
Q8	Unification of the health care systems in Europe – is this a chimera or a panacea or is it something that is going to happen but should not be planned to happen? Listen the answer here
Q9	There are countries like U.S.A. where the quantity and quality of research infrastructures and the human resources potential are huge, while others like Greece or Romania have rather limited resources. Do you think that for the latter cases it might be better to invest in the adoption of practices and policies that have been conceived elsewhere instead of keeping on their efforts to define their own ways?
