Abstract: Computing is a powerful health resource that contributes to the improved quality of health services provided by medical units. This study aimed to investigate Greek physicians' views on the electronic health card. Between February 2019 to April 2019, 116 physicians from three hospitals in the broad area of Athens completed a self-administered questionnaire related to the use of the Internet, the electronic health card, and information technology in health. The results were analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0. A positive assessment of the model in terms of its potential public health benefits was found. Obstacles to the management of health information systems and the high cost must be taken into account. The smart card is a possible channel for improving the quality of the services provided, making significant progress in the units of the national health system but the implementation cost and the ways of managing it must also be taken into consideration.
