Applying Taiwan EMR Exchange Architecture to Establish a Mobile-Healthcare Management System for Chronic Disease in an Aboriginal Tribe

The information system of Mobile-healthcare Management is using the newly and sophisticated technology to collocate physicians and nurses’ professional skills. It may improve the healthcare quality of remote areas and increase their medical resources. This research aims at establishing a proper clinical medical information system. Because of most of the aboriginal tribes lack medical service, it is hard for people to visit hospital, so it need the case manager visit the patient weekly, and record the patients’ situation on paper by manually, this research want to build a system to solve some problems. Consider the information device insufficiency in remote areas and need high mobility of peripatetic medical service, we use tablet PC to as a hardware and using it in a tribe which is located in the east of Taiwan. This system will make case managers get patient’s basic and clinical data in their hospitals and also get these data from another hospitals through electronic medical record exchange center. Therefore, it can help case managers know the patients’ conditions before they go to provide care to the patient.
