KIDS introduced the Narcotics Integrated Management System (NIMS) and the medical narcotics big data utilization service to family medicine healthcare professionals participating in the academic conference. This year, the 'Narcotics Control Act' was partially amended, requiring doctors to mandatorily check patients' narcotics prescription history when issuing prescriptions containing narcotics or psychotropic drugs.



The Narcotics Integrated Information Management Center of KIDS focused on promoting the registration guidance and usage methods of the 'Narcotics Medical Shopping Prevention Information Network,' one of the medical narcotics big data utilization services, to doctors prescribing narcotics. The Narcotics Medical Shopping Prevention Information Network is a system that allows doctors to inquire and verify a patient's narcotics prescription history over the past year when examining the patient and writing prescriptions. Doctors can use this system to check patients' narcotics prescription records and, if there are concerns about misuse or abuse, may choose not to prescribe or dispense. It also enables early detection of patients receiving excessive or overlapping narcotics prescriptions by visiting multiple medical institutions.
