Establishment of a Personal Medical Information Sharing System and Regional

Overview

There has been a growing demand from the medical field to establish an efficient system for sharing personal medical information so that medical staff can verify a patient's medical history and provide prompt diagnosis and treatment during emergencies.
To establish a scientific emergency medical system capable of providing optimal, personalized treatment for citizens in the future, the need for data linkage—including personal medical information and real-time medical resource information—and AI analysis has been raised.

Project description

A system for sharing personal medical information will be established to link patients' core medical data with healthcare institutions' EMRs (Electronic Medical Records), enabling medical staff to access patient history during treatment decisions. This system will be piloted at healthcare institutions.

• Implementation of Public Personal Data Repository
  • Establish a system to store and share core personal medical information, such as chronic diseases, required for triage and treatment decisions in emergency rooms.
• Implementation of New Medical Information Features
  • Implement new features related to patient summary information on the Health Information Highway portal, including viewing, downloading, and sharing patient summary information.
• Improving Information Sharing Systems
  • Enhancing medical institutions' electronic medical record (EMR) systems to enable healthcare providers to access and utilize information stored in the public personal data repository for clinical care
• Medical Institution Demonstration
  • Select medical institutions, primarily regional emergency centers, to evaluate the practical utilization and scalability of patient summary information.

Key technological features

• Establishment of a Cloud-Based Public Repository for Personal Medical Information
  • Storing core personal medical data such as chronic diseases, pulse, and blood sugar for rapid diagnosis and treatment in emergencies
• Establishment of a data linkage system with medical institutions' Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems

Expected outcomes

In emergency situations, medical staff can reference patient information such as underlying conditions, medication history, and allergies. This enables faster triage and appropriate emergency treatment, reducing response times. Consequently, patient safety is enhanced and healthcare quality is expected to improve.

It can contribute to enhancing user-centric data accessibility by enabling individuals to easily and securely manage their own sensitive medical data.

Launch year: 2024
