South Koreans can soon access their medical records from big hospitals via the mobile Health Information Highway (My Healthway) application.
This month, the Ministry of Health and Welfare is set to complete the linking of all 47 tertiary general hospitals in the country to My Healthway.
The mobile app allows Koreans to view their diagnoses, imaging and pathology results, medications, allergies, and surgical records, as well as manage health checkup results and their children’s immunisation schedules. It also provides live information on nearby 24-hour hospitals and pharmacies.
By the end of August, the government expects to have connected 1,264 healthcare settings, including general hospitals and clinics, to the national health record system. Healthcare IT News
