The North District Tzu Chi Medical Association held a two-day dental outreach clinic in Taitung and incorporated a new approach: the use of an electronic medical record (EMR) system. Traditionally, consultations occur within dedicated hospital rooms, but this outreach involved visiting multiple different institutions, making data digitization challenging. To overcome this difficulty, American Tzu Chi volunteers utilized their specialized knowledge to develop a dedicated EMR application. This case study demonstrates a practical solution for achieving information management and data sharing in the context of 'outreach clinics' (義診), where medical services are not confined to fixed hospital locations but extend into local communities and various settings. It provides valuable insights into improving accessibility and practicality in healthcare IT, particularly concerning EMR operation in remote or non-standard environments.
