Research Abstract

In Japan, medical record databases were usually built independently at each hospitals, even some hospitals were in the same region or even the same patient admitted at each hospital Interhospital common medical record database was rarely built, and interhospital data exchange was also seldom done. To perform clinical research with many of sample size in a region, these situation will be a big barrier and make enormous cost. We performed a survey of information system and its function at each hospital in Ibaraki prefecture, then discussed what actions are required to promote inter-hospital data exchange and to build regional database of medical records for clinical research.
We sent a questionnaire to 51 hospital which had 100 or over beds in Ibaraki prefecture and collected 25 responses We also interviewed 2 large hospitals.
Referring to the results of the survey and interview, following situation around medical record database was described.
Computer system for billing and accounting was commonly used, and system for ordering examinations and treatments between departments in a hospital was introduced at over 80% of respondents. However the system for electrical medical records was introduced at under 30% of respondents. Over 80% of respondents had function to export some data on their computer system by some electrical format.
We concluded that following three actions at every hospitals will effective to promote building regional database of medical records for clinical research. Applying electrical recording of per-patient summary documents, implementing function to export data by some electrical format, and introducing system for ordering examinations and treatments.
