Taiwan to Launch National Electronic Health Record System by 2026
台灣預計於 2026 年啟用全國電子健康紀錄系統
Taiwan is taking a giant leap in digital healthcare by launching its new National Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.
台灣正在數位醫療領域邁出巨大的一步，推出全新的國家電子健康紀錄（Electronic Health Record, EHR）系統。
Scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, this ambitious project aims to modernize the way medical data is stored and shared.
這項宏大的計畫預計在2026年底前完成，旨在現代化醫療數據的儲存與共享方式。
Currently, Taiwan's hospitals use dozens of incompatible systems, which often leads to redundant tests and fragmented patient records.
目前，台灣的醫院使用數十種互不兼容的系統，這常導致重複檢測及病患紀錄碎片化。
By adopting the global Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard, the government plans to create a unified framework where medical information can travel securely across different clinics and hospitals.
透過採用全球「快速健康互操作性資源」（Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, FHIR）標準，政府計畫建立一個統一的架構，讓醫療資訊能在不同的診所與醫院間安全傳輸。
Instead of using strict mandates, the Ministry of Health and Welfare is encouraging hospitals to join through National Health Insurance incentives and by including digital progress in hospital accreditation.
衛生福利部並非採取嚴格的強制手段，而是透過全民健保的誘因以及將數位化進度納入醫院評鑑，來鼓勵醫院加入。
After integrating major medical centers by 2026, the government intends to expand the reach to smaller clinics by 2028, solidifying Taiwan's position as a leader in smart healthcare.
政府預計在2026年完成整合各大醫學中心後，於2028年將範圍擴展至基層診所，從而鞏固台灣作為智慧醫療領導者的地位。
