The National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) of Taiwan has designated the introduction of 'Cancer Major Illness' application data into the Electronic Medical Record (FHIR) system as a key policy initiative. The goal is to digitize information regarding patients with severe illnesses, thereby facilitating smooth information sharing among healthcare providers. The specific focus area is titled 'Cancer Major Illness Application Introduction FHIR,' and related documentation for download is available. This represents a critical step in standardizing how information concerning certain serious diseases is handled within Taiwan's electronic health record (EHR) and medical data management systems, utilizing standards like FHIR. This effort aims beyond mere digitization; it seeks to ensure the provision of appropriate care based on the patient's condition and improve administrative efficiency. It is expected that healthcare professionals and related institutions will be able to collaborate using more accurate and timely information.
