Eunpyeong-gu, Establishment of Integrated Information System for Screening Clinics

One-Stop Processing from Mobile Pre-Reservation to Questionnaire Completion... Launch of Mobile Web Pre-Reservation Service for 'Respiratory Dedicated Clinic' to Prepare for Second Winter Pandemic

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) is building a mobile reservation system that enables non-face-to-face epidemiological investigation forms and questionnaire completion at screening clinics, the first among local governments nationwide.

Additionally, even after COVID-19, to address the inefficiency of handling tasks by visiting public health centers, enforce social distancing, block infection sources occurring during the medical process, and provide a non-face-to-face examination environment, a non-face-to-face mobile pre-reservation service will also be promoted concurrently.

Despite the digital era, screening clinic operations have not been equipped with online reservations and automated systems like university hospitals, resulting in manual work processing (such as questionnaire and epidemiological investigation form completion) and face-to-face consultations, which have increased the workload of staff and caused inconvenience to residents due to unnecessary visits.

Once the integrated information system for screening clinics is established, applicants can make pre-reservations via mobile (completing questionnaires and epidemiological investigation forms), visit for doctor consultations and specimen collection, and later receive results via text message. At the clinic, arrival registration (QR code reader recognition), doctor consultation, specimen collection (barcode label printing), test requests, and test result notifications can all be processed in a one-stop manner.

Eunpyeong-gu has detailed the development scope for building the integrated information system for screening clinics, considering the urgency of the COVID-19 situation, and plans to start pilot operations from October this year and normal operations in November. Next year, they plan to conduct an advancement project to supplement issues found in this year's project and to share information and data with the disease health integrated system and entrusted institution tests.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, “In preparation for the post-COVID era, by operating a mobile system that enables pre-reservations and questionnaire completion, we will do our best to prevent the risk of secondary infections within clinics in advance, reduce waiting times on site, improve resident convenience, and create a non-face-to-face healthcare environment.”
