The unprecedented incertitude existing in the health system in Romania implies menaces for the system managers. The improvement of the performance of the medical system has never been more adequate, so that the health system needs specific managerial strategies. Romania needs a complete solution which could assure a performant management of the medical information in the system, and in their plans, the managers of the healthcare organizations must include investments for the application of the informational technologies, like the administration of medical information, of the health electronic file, the medical information exchange, so that the medical service be continuous and permanent from the birth until the death of any individual. But the piece of information is only valuable to the one who knows how to use it, where to search for it, how to choose it and finally how to use it, so that we can say the main instrument to which the manager from the health system may resort rapidly in order to find new solutions is information.
