Hospital Medical Data Transmission Technology 'KR Core V2' Officially Registered as Standard

Details

According to the Korea Health Information Service, the medical data transmission technology 'KR Core V2,' used in hospitals, will be officially registered as a standard in September. The technology successfully passed performance tests involving a total of seven medical institutions and companies at HL7 Korea's Connectathon held on July 14th. It was particularly praised for being developed to represent core information—such as surgeries/procedures, lab tests, and specimens (blood, tissue, etc.)—more accurately and consistently in the field. The Korea Health Information Service plans to fully promote the spread of FHIR-based medical data standards by linking them with various public health policy projects after the completion of KR Core V2, including EMR certification systems, health information highways, and clinical information exchange. Furthermore, the KR Core V2 support tool used in the Connectathon will be provided through the Health Information Standard Management System (HINS) next year, allowing use by domestic and international developers and medical institutions. The head of the Korea Health Information Service stated that the official standard publication of KR Core V2 is a significant achievement that simultaneously realizes the advancement and internationalization of domestic medical data technology standards. It will serve as a crucial foundation for improving medical data quality and establishing an interoperability ecosystem. The service plans to continue providing standards across terminology, format, and technology to promote national standards and support the field.
