An independent public hospital in Krynica-Zdrój has launched a tender for a new IT solution to modernise its core clinical systems and plug them into an Intelligent Services Platform. The Hospital IT System Modernization project, published on 24th November 2025, aims to use artificial intelligence to support diagnostic and therapeutic decisions, placing it at the intersection of digital hospital upgrades and AI-assisted medicine.

AI at the centre of hospital modernisation

The buyer, Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej Szpital im. dr. J.Dietla w Krynicy-Zdroju, plans to purchase and implement an IT solution that refreshes its existing domain systems and makes their data available to the Intelligent Services Platform. In practice, this means reshaping how clinical information flows across the hospital so that it can feed external AI tools as well as local applications.

The notice is explicit that artificial intelligence is to be used to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic processes. That aligns with a wider trend in 2025 tenders, where hospitals link system upgrades directly to AI-supported clinical work. In November 2025, Szpital Wolski Sp. z o.o. launched its PACS System Purchase and Integration project to acquire a new imaging archive, integrate it with AMMS and connect to the Intelligent Services Platform for medical imaging data transmission and AI-assisted analysis. In October 2025, SZPITAL PRASKI P.W. PRZEMIENIENIA PAŃSKIEGO SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ issued a Replacement of RIS and PACS Systems tender that combines new imaging systems with expanded AI options, full integration with the hospital system and remote reading of examinations.

Against this backdrop, the Krynica-Zdrój project looks less like an isolated IT refresh and more like groundwork for routine AI use in areas such as imaging, digital diagnostics and treatment planning. The emphasis on data integration suggests that future tools, whether developed centrally on the Intelligent Services Platform or supplied by vendors, will depend on clean, standardised feeds from the hospital's core systems.

Data platforms, records and integration

While the Krynica-Zdrój notice is concise, its focus on domain systems and platform integration mirrors several more detailed procurements. In July 2025, Wojewódzki Szpital Zespolony im. L. Rydygiera w Toruniu sought to modernise its digital diagnostic research management system through the Digital Diagnostic System Modernization project, combining infrastructure updates, implementation, data migration and staff training. That contract underlines how replacing legacy diagnostic software now goes together with structured data migration and user preparation.

Across providers, integration with shared platforms is becoming a defining feature. In September 2025, the Instytut Matki i Dziecka launched its EDM Expansion and Integration Project, aiming to expand electronic medical records and connect them to systems P1 and PUI, including digitisation and integration with an AI service platform. The institute stresses the need for a single contractor to oversee the whole chain to ensure consistent implementation and operational continuity, signalling how complex such integrations have become.

Other hospitals are tying similar work to central repositories. In October 2025, the Zespół Opieki Zdrowotnej w Brodnicy set out to expand IT systems, digitise medical documentation, enhance cybersecurity and implement AI solutions while integrating with a central medical data repository through its E-Services Expansion for Health Care procurement. In November 2025, Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej Wojewódzki Szpital Specjalistyczny Nr 2 announced plans to expand IT systems in Jastrzębie-Zdrój via the Expansion of IT Systems at WSS No. 2 project, again coupling documentation digitisation, AI roll-out and connection to a central medical data repository.

Taken together, these contracts point to a common architecture that the Krynica-Zdrój hospital is now joining, built around:

  • modernised hospital systems that can exchange structured data;
  • integration with shared platforms such as the Intelligent Services Platform, P1 and PUI;
  • large-scale digitisation of paper medical records;
  • long-term arrangements with integrators who can manage implementation, migration and continuity.

Cybersecurity and infrastructure as preconditions

AI-ready data flows are only as reliable as the infrastructure and security that sit underneath them. Several 2025 notices show hospitals strengthening their foundations before or alongside AI deployments. In May 2025, the Wojewódzki Zespół Specjalistycznej Opieki Zdrowotnej launched an IT Infrastructure Modernization project in its Wrocław data centre, centred on replacing SAN network components and providing implementation services for the new systems.

Cybersecurity, in particular, has become a recurring theme. In November 2025, Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej w Działdowie set out plans for Integrated IT System Implementation, adapting operations to cybersecurity requirements and seeking co-financing under the National Reconstruction and Resilience Plan. Also in November 2025, Szpital w Szczecinku sp. z o.o. published its Digital Transformation of Healthcare tender, focused squarely on enhancing cybersecurity through LAN segmentation, email protection, event analysis, vulnerability management and token-based access authorisation.

Many broader digital projects also reserve space for security upgrades. In August 2025, the Specjalistyczny Szpital Ginekologiczno - Położniczy im. E. Biernackiego in Wałbrzych issued a Digital Security and E-Services Development contract that combines the roll-out of e-services and AI tools with integration and expansion of IT systems, new modules, staff training and system upgrades. In November 2025, similar language appears in procurements from Powiatowe Centrum Zdrowia Sp. z o.o. in Kartuzy, through its Digital Transformation for Health Center project, Szpital Powiatu Bytowskiego Sp. z o.o. in Bytów, via Digital Services and Security for Hospital, and SAMODZIELNY PUBLICZNY ZESPÓŁ ZAKŁADÓW OPIEKI ZDROWOTNEJ W GRYFICACH, with its Digital Transformation in Healthcare tender. All three explicitly link new digital services with improved data security and system integration.

For the Krynica-Zdrój hospital, integrating with an external Intelligent Services Platform will increase its exposure to cyber risks. Although the current notice does not spell out specific security measures, suppliers can expect firm requirements around data protection, access control and monitoring, in line with the direction set by these parallel tenders.

From paper to pixels in everyday care

Several hospitals are using 2025 tenders to tackle the practical task of digitising records and front-line workflows, a necessary step before AI can add value at the bedside. In November 2025, the Mazowiecki Szpital Specjalistyczny Sp. z o. o. went to market for a Medical Documentation Digitization System, covering both equipment delivery and implementation of software for the automatic digitisation of medical documentation. Wojewódzki Szpital Specjalistyczny w Białej Podlaskiej, meanwhile, is procuring IT Systems Integration and Expansion in four parts, including database management, virtualisation, server equipment, software licences, electronic signatures and hardware replacement.

In November 2025, the Szpital Powiatowy w Radomsku describes a wide-ranging Hospital Computerization Solutions project that includes system expansions, electronic document workflows, signature digitisation, queue systems, IT infrastructure upgrades and software licence updates. Radomski Szpital Specjalistyczny im. dr. Tytusa Chałubińskiego is purchasing and expanding IT systems and equipment through its IT Systems Expansion for Healthcare tender to enhance digital services, including a CallCenter system, electronic document signing and cybersecurity improvements.

Also in November 2025, the Pałuckie Centrum Zdrowia Sp. z o.o. frames its Digital Transformation for Healthcare Improvement tender as a way to enhance medical care through integration and expansion of IT systems, digitisation of medical documentation, cybersecurity upgrades and implementation of AI solutions. In the same month, Szpital Specjalistyczny im. Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego in Nowy Sącz plans to procure ICT equipment and software, implement a hospital information system with staff training, and acquire a server and tape library under its Digital Transformation at Hospital project.

The Krynica-Zdrój project fits neatly into this picture. By modernising domain systems and connecting them to an AI-enabled services platform, the hospital is laying the groundwork for more automated documentation, smoother patient flows and decision-support tools that can draw on complete, up-to-date records.

Outlook – from infrastructure to impact

For suppliers, the Hospital IT System Modernization contract signals demand for end-to-end capabilities: not just software licences, but integration with shared platforms, data migration, training and long-term support. The insistence elsewhere on unified delivery by a single contractor, as in the Instytut Matki i Dziecka's EDM Expansion and Integration Project, suggests buyers want clear accountability as they re-wire core systems around shared platforms and AI.

For clinicians, the key tests will come after implementation: whether AI-supported diagnostics are accurate and trusted, whether workflows improve rather than slow down, and whether data from different departments genuinely come together in a usable form. Many of the 2025 tenders already include training as a core component, acknowledging that adoption depends on staff confidence as much as on technology.

The next phase to watch will be how quickly hospitals move from infrastructure and digitisation into live AI services at scale, and whether common platforms such as the Intelligent Services Platform, P1, PUI and central repositories help or hinder that progress. For now, the Krynica-Zdrój tender is another sign that AI features are moving into the formal requirements of hospital IT procurements.
