Daedong Hospital.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Daedong Hospital recently obtained certification for its electronic medical record system from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Information Service.

Electronic medical records refer to medical records recorded electronically using computers or other devices to document patient medical information.

The electronic medical record system is a computerized information system necessary for the creation, management, and preservation of records to ensure that electronic medical records can be efficiently and uniformly managed and utilized.

The stored information provides safe and accurate medical records to medical staff and patients through the electronic medical record system.

The electronic medical record system certification was introduced in 2020 to support patient safety and continuity of care, verifying national standards and compliance of domestic electronic medical record systems to provide high-quality medical services to healthcare consumers.

Currently, 105 software vendors and medical institutions nationwide have obtained certification, and over the past three years, seven medical institutions in the Busan area, including Daedong Hospital, have acquired certification.

The system certification is divided into ‘product certification,’ which certifies that electronic medical record systems developed directly by medical information companies or institutions meet certification standards, and ‘usage certification,’ which certifies that the certified electronic medical record system is being used without changes.

The evaluation applies criteria across a total of 86 areas, including functionality, interoperability, and security, reviewing electronic medical record systems, equipment, record formats, and facilities.

Daedong Hospital met the electronic medical record system certification standards based on the conformity verification results under Article 23, Paragraph 2 of the Medical Service Act, obtaining both product certification and usage certification for Type 3, the application grade for systems used in general hospitals with 300 or more beds.

The certification is valid until October 31, 2025.
