Business constructing EMS remote-cooperative medical treatment network

Business summary

In order to resolve a medical blind spot as a result of the deregulation of health and medical care, the government has submitted a revised bill for the Medical Act regarding remote medical services that is now pending in the National Assembly. The government has been conducting clinical safety, efficacy, and utility tests of a pilot business since September 2014.
Even though the EMS infrastructure in vulnerable areas such as farming and fishing villages has continuously been expanded with constant efforts, the gap between big cities and vulnerable areas regarding the quality of EMS is still huge.

There is a great need for measures with which professional manpower working in base hospitals in big cities can support the treatment of emergency patients in vulnerable areas, such as farming and fishing villages, using ICT technology.

Business goals

To prepare measures with which professional manpower working in base hospitals in big cities can support the treatment of emergency patients in vulnerable areas with comparatively poor EMS infrastructure to resolve the gap between the quality of EMS and medical blind spot.

Business effects

A constant EMS cooperative system between hospitals in vulnerable areas and base hospitals can be constructed so that prompt and appropriate medical treatment can be provided to emergency patients. Also, it can save time and expenses in the case of expansion by excluding elements affected by the informatization environment of an individual hospital as much as possible when constructing the system.
