Recently, the Shanghai Academician Center brought together over 40 experts, business representatives, and officials from relevant departments to discuss the development of electronic health records (EHR) in the field of “Electronic Health Archives.†The event took place in the Science Hall, where key figures such as Academician Li Lanjuan, President of the Zhejiang Association of Science and Technology, shared their insights on how to build a more efficient and patient-centered EHR system. Li emphasized that the core of the network construction should focus on individuals, enabling better integration of community and hospital resources. Meanwhile, Director Yu Guangjun from the Shanghai Shenkang Hospital Development Center provided an update on the progress of the Shanghai Medical Federation project, stating that it is expected to be fully implemented within two years.
As information technology and digital medicine continue to advance, electronic health records have emerged as a critical tool for managing personal health data. These records include physical exams, medical histories, imaging results, and medication details, all stored digitally. During the discussion, academics explored how to effectively implement and manage EHRs using modern digital methods, aiming to enhance healthcare services and improve efficiency for patients. They also highlighted the potential of EHRs to reduce costs, streamline medical processes, and address challenges like high treatment costs and limited access to care.
Despite the promising future, several challenges remain in China’s EHR development, primarily related to technical standards, management procedures, and policy frameworks. Li Lanjuan, who also serves as a member of the State Key Laboratory of Infectious Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment, discussed the progress made in Zhejiang Province, where hospital-based EHR systems have seen some success. However, she pointed out that greater efforts are needed to improve data sharing between hospitals. She proposed a people-centered approach, emphasizing the role of communities and rural health initiatives, and suggested that strategies like “urban encircling cities†could help bridge the gap between different healthcare institutions. She also expressed hope for closer collaboration between Zhejiang and Shanghai in this area.
Director Yu Guangjun shared further details about the Shanghai Medical Federation project, noting that 23 tertiary hospitals are already participating, allowing for the exchange and recognition of medical reports through a shared network. When asked about the next steps, he mentioned that pilot programs in Changning and Minhang districts have already shown positive results, with no major technical barriers. According to the city's government guidelines, the full implementation of the project is expected to be completed within two years. The initiative represents a significant step forward in improving healthcare accessibility and coordination across Shanghai’s medical institutions.
