It will use a questionnaire based on which we will be able to determine the knowledge and application in practice of managers in nursing of knowledge about information technology in the health care system. The study was conducted from June 1st – August 1st 2010.Results: It is expected that most health institutions in the Canton Sarajevo has no organized information network system. Most managers’ nurses use e-mail in order to quickly contact other colleagues and exchange experiences. A large number of nurse’s managers in health institutions use computer technology in their daily work in order to make medical reports.Conclusions: Health system and information technology are in close relationship, although still insufficiently applied in everyday work.
