Details
The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) is promoting efforts to seamlessly link medical history information across various healthcare settings, such as hospitals and clinics. The goal is to expand the scope of electronic health record sharing to cover all medical institutions throughout Taiwan. Through this system, it is expected that necessary medical history information will be centrally available regardless of which facility the patient visits. This initiative aims to improve the quality of medical services and efficient data management across a wide geographical area, contributing to the advancement of Taiwan's healthcare IT infrastructure.
