Abstract
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an important structural part of the modern society; this is why countries strive for constant progress in ICT and why it draws such significant attention (Dobrota et al., 2012). Information and Communication Technologies offer great opportunities and have an overall impact on national economies and global competition in the health-care system. Numerous papers emphasize the importance of ICT through the inclusion of Internet users and IT literacy as indicators of socioeconomic development (Jeremić et al., 2011; Jeremić et al., 2011; Jovanović Milenković et al., 2012; rmic et al., 2012).
