Jeju University Hospital Launches Online Medical Image Issuance and Registration Service

Details

Jeju University Hospital, designated as the regional responsible medical institution in Jeju Province, has partnered with Health Hub, a specialized medical imaging company, to launch an online service for issuing and registering medical images. The new system utilizes a cloud-based HScan solution, allowing patients to apply for and register their personal medical images conveniently through hospital websites and mobile apps. This significantly addresses the previous inconvenience of patients having to carry physical CDs or dealing with reissuance issues. Crucially, the system adheres to international medical data standards such as FHIR, DICOM, and HL7. This compliance facilitates smooth data linkage with clinics and hospitals throughout the region, aiming to improve overall healthcare services in the Jeju area. Furthermore, it enables patients to efficiently manage both their medical images and electronic health records directly from their smartphones. Beyond the initial online issuance service, the hospital and Health Hub plan to expand cooperation by integrating web-based shared cloud provision, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system technologies. This expansion is linked to a pilot project for the 'Jeju-type Primary Care Physician System,' demonstrating a commitment to improving regional public healthcare infrastructure and achieving local medical self-governance. (Note: The article mentions that the hospital expects this service to realize patient-centered care and contribute to the improvement of the regional public healthcare system.)
