Chiba University Hospital has developed and started operation of "SHACHI", a personal health record system that shares medical information with other medical institutions, pharmacies, patients, etc.Individual medical records and drug information can be recorded and confirmed on smartphones, which helps to promote more efficient and accurate medical care with the participation of patients.
According to the Chiba University Hospital, the name is an acronym for Social Health Assist Chiba.Medical results, referral letters, prescriptions, nursing results, prescription results, medical treatment reports, etc. compiled by doctors and nurses in hospitals, pharmacists in dispensing pharmacies, and care managers in nursing care facilities can be saved, and patients can use their smartphones. You can browse at any time.Research materials and explanatory materials on diseases and pathological conditions created by participating institutions can also be shared and used in actual medical settings.Patients can also enter and record their own information such as medication, diet, exercise, and blood pressure, and write questions about medical treatment.
Since 2013, Chiba Prefecture has been constructing an IT network that connects medical institutions in the prefecture with the aim of managing diseases in the region, but in 2015 it ended its operation due to financial difficulties.At this time, because it was started only at medical institutions without patient participation, it could not be fully effective, so Chiba University Hospital launched Shachi as a system with patient benefits.
