The National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) of Taiwan and the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) renewed their cooperation agreement with the UK's NICE. The goal is to advance Taiwan's medical digital transformation and strengthen evidence-based decision-making, focusing particularly on data governance and FHIR standards in cancer care.
Taiwan is implementing a digital health platform using big data and AI, moving towards a 'Holistic Care' model under its 'Healthy Taiwan' vision. It integrates EMR across over 400 hospitals nationwide and adopts international standards like FHIR to improve the quality and efficiency of medical care.
Under the 'Healthy Taiwan' vision, Taiwan is integrating big data, AI, and cloud technologies to improve healthcare efficiency and quality. By implementing nationwide electronic health records and adopting the international standard FHIR, it is transitioning towards a person-centered, comprehensive care model.
Dadang Medical Care, a subsidiary of the Dadong Group, will lead the standardization and cross-system integration of an international medical database using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). This aims to establish a foundational platform for medical data interoperability, leveraging AI technology to enter the at-home smart care market.
Zihui Technology announced that it successfully assisted Tai'an Hospital in transforming its entire core medical data. Tai'an Hospital is now the first institution nationwide to apply complete medical records, converted according to the national standard 'TW Core IG,' into FHIR format and use them in clinical settings.
To address population aging and healthcare workforce shortages, Taiwan is advancing a digital health transformation under the 'Healthy Taiwan' vision. By integrating big data, AI, and cloud technologies across its system, it aims to achieve personalized and holistic care.
Taiwan is integrating electronic medical record systems across multiple hospitals using the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard. This initiative aims to eliminate the burden of carrying physical records and ensure smoother, more efficient healthcare delivery for patients.
A Taiwanese health information organization has published a ValueSet for cancer staging. This set is based on HL7 FHIR R4, aggregating codes from multiple standards like SNOMED CT, covering numerous international cancer staging systems (e.g., Gleason score, FIGO stage).
Puhong Information and Sitah Information developed the 'FHIR Smart Medical Device' series based on HL7 FHIR standards, which was piloted at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. This facilitates secure electronic health record exchange and next-generation smart medical application integration, advancing Taiwan's digital health transformation.
Following President Lai Ching-te's state visit to the Kingdom of Swadaini, Health Minister Shi Chong-liang stated that medical cooperation will continue. He emphasized expanding support beyond clinical services to include AI implementation and building electronic systems.
