Now, the Medical Center in the districts and city are coordinating with Viettel Bac Giang to finish the last stage of data integration to provide each citizen with an e-health record that allows his/her to use the personal identification code to search for information via smart devices (computer and telephone).

However, the application of information technology into managing the public health record at the medical centers is limited, according to the medical sector’s evaluation.

The software provided by Viettel can integrate only a part of data instead of synchronizing all information in the hospital file with the higher medical establishment.

Though the computers are fully equipped, several departments and divisions of the medical centers in the districts and communes still use old device with backward configuration, unstable wifi system while the human resources need to be further trainned.

The business is requested to supply the additional software system to manage the e-health record, adjust the software to integrate and extract sufficient information and data among the medical facilities nationwide, especially ensuring its stable operation with quick access.

The health staff should highlight the responsibility to instruct the residents to additionally supply personal information in each time of health examination and treatment. Moreover, the healthcare facilities should immediately upgrade the information technology system in line with technical standard so as to realize the e-health record and ensure the integration and synchronization among the facilities providing health checkup and treatment.
