Abstract		Regija Veneto ima 21 lokalnih socialnih in zdravstvenih oblasti, dve univerzitetni bolnišnici in en specializirani raziskovalni inštitut. Regija Veneto si že od leta 2002 prizadeva za uveljavitev centraliziranih nabavnih strategij preko razpisov (javna eNaročila) in orodij, kot so eZdravje znotraj bolnišnic za nadzor nakupov na področju zdravstva v regiji. Še zlasti zaradi finančne krize se pojavlja potreba po obvladovanju javnih izdatkov, kar vključuje bolj odgovorno obnašanje javnih organizacij pri nakupovanju storitev, iskanje novih načinov zmanjševanja odpadkov, zmanjševanje stroškov in iskanje prihrankov, kjer je le mogoče. Z uporabo visoko tehnološko razvite platforme eNaročila je Regionalni center za nakupe v zdravstvu (CRAS) dosegel znatne prihranke do 45 % prvotne cene za medicinsko opremo, zdravila in specializirane zdravstvene storitve. Številne ekonomske študije so pokazale, da eNaročila prinašajo znatne koristi predvsem v javnem sektorju. Te koristi vključujejo nižje transakcijske stroške, krajši čas izvedbe naročil, manjše zaloge, večjo preglednost in izboljšano komunikacijo in sodelovanje med dobavitelji in kupci. Glavni cilj eNaročil je večja racionalizacija pri izbiri dobrin, dela in storitev z upoštevanjem znanstvenoraziskovalnih dognanj,ki vodijo do izbire najboljših možnih proizvodov (medicinska oprema in zdravila) po stroškovno učinkovitih cenah, ki veljajo na trgu. S tem bi eNaročila postala veljavno metodološko orodje za zmanjšanje in racionalizacijo javnih izdatkov, s tem pa tudi za izboljšanje zdravstvenega varstva prebivalstva regije.Since 2002, the Veneto Region, with its 21 Local Social and Health Authorities, two University teaching hospitals and one specialist research institute, has been promoting centralized purchasing strategies, and identifying and activating tenders (public eProcurement) and eHealth tools within its hospitals for monitoring health purchases across the Region. In view of the current global economic crisis, there has been a need to contain public expenditure, thereby forcing many public organizations to become more accountable for the way they spend public money, and to find ways of reducing waste, cutting costs and making savings wherever possible. Substantial savings of up to 45% on original starting prices for medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and specialized health services have been obtained by the Regional Centre for Health Purchasing (CRAS) through the use of a highly developed eProcurement platform. A number of economic studies have demonstrated the significant operational benefits that can be gained from eProcurement, especially in the public sector. These benefits include reduced transaction costs, shorter procurement cycles, reduced inventory levels, improved transparency, and increased communication and collaboration between supplier and buyer organisations. The main objective of public eProcurement is to obtain a greater rationalization in the choice of goods, works and services through research into the best possible products (e.g. medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals) at cost-effective prices available on the market, thereby becoming a valid methodological tool for reducing and rationalizing public expenditure, and ultimately for the improvement of health protection for Citizens.
