Recently, the Shanghai Academician Center hosted a meeting where over 40 experts, academicians, business representatives, and officials from relevant departments gathered in the Science Hall to discuss the development of electronic health records (EHR). The event brought together key players in the field of “Electronic Health Archives,” with a focus on building a more efficient and interconnected system for health data. Academician Li Lanjuan, chairperson of the Zhejiang Association of Science and Technology, emphasized that EHR systems should be people-centered to enhance resource sharing between communities and hospitals. Meanwhile, Guang Jun, director of the Medical Division at the Shanghai Shenkang Hospital Development Center, shared insights into the progress of the Shanghai Medical Federation project, which is expected to be fully implemented within two years.

As modern information and digital medical technologies continue to evolve, electronic health records have emerged as a critical tool for managing personal health data. These records include physical exams, clinical notes, medical history, imaging data, and medication details, all aimed at improving healthcare delivery. During the discussion, academicians explored how EHRs can be effectively built, managed, and integrated into digital medical practices to improve public health outcomes and service efficiency.

While many see the potential of EHRs in streamlining medical operations, reducing costs, and addressing challenges like high medical expenses and limited access to care, they also pointed out significant hurdles in China’s EHR development. Key issues include the lack of unified technical standards, clear management guidelines, and supportive policies. These gaps need to be addressed to ensure the long-term success and widespread adoption of EHR systems.

Li Lanjuan, who is also a member of the State Key Laboratory of Infectious Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment, provided an update on Zhejiang Province's efforts in EHR construction. Although progress has been made in hospital-based electronic archives, she noted that greater collaboration between hospitals is still needed. She proposed a people-centered approach, emphasizing community involvement and rural health initiatives. By using a strategy known as “urban encircling cities,” she hopes to foster better resource sharing among communities, hospitals, and other institutions. She also expressed interest in establishing a connection between Zhejiang and Shanghai in the EHR domain.

Director Yu Guangjun of the Medical Department at the Shanghai Shenkang Hospital Development Center gave a detailed account of the Shanghai Medical Federation project. Currently, 23 top-tier hospitals in the city are part of the initiative, allowing for the mutual recognition and sharing of medical reports through a network. When asked about expanding this to cover all tertiary hospitals and enabling district-level connectivity, Yu confirmed that pilot projects in Changning and Minhang districts are already underway, with no major technical barriers. Based on directives from the municipal government, the full implementation of the project is expected to be completed within two years. This marks a significant step forward in the digital transformation of healthcare in Shanghai.

The discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration, standardization, and policy support in advancing EHR systems. With continued efforts, these digital tools could revolutionize healthcare delivery, making it more efficient, accessible, and patient-focused.
