Abstract

This paper serves to share Hong Kong's experience in the modernization of traditional Chinese Medicine through application of modern technology. CMIS, short for Chinese Medicine Information System, is a comprehensive computerized clinical management system which supports and assists clinical and non-clinical staff with their daily workflow at the clinics. The seven modules: registration and appointment, billing, assessment, consultation, dispensing and inventory management, clinical intelligence as well as management reports work together to consolidate all the real-time information related to the operation of a Chinese medicine clinic. Record sharing was made possible through this centralized CMIS system. At the moment CMIS serves 16 clinics across Hong Kong. Two new Chinese Medicine Center for Training and Research (CMCTRs) managed under tripartite collaboration agreement among Hospital Authority, local universities and local NGOs are scheduled to be established during 2013-2015. Eventually there will be 18 CMCTRs in total. Serving one CMCTR in every district in Hong Kong, CMIS paves the path to future patient-centered electronic health record (eHR).

将现代科技与传统中医药结合，在全港共享资讯

本文旨在分享香港运用现代科技使中医药现代化的经验。CMIS是中医信息系统的缩写，是一个全面的计算机化临床管理系统，支持和协助临床和非临床工作人员在诊所的日常工作。这七个模块:挂号预约、计费、评估、咨询、调剂和库存管理、临床情报以及管理报告，共同整合了与中医诊所运营相关的所有实时信息。通过这个集中的CMIS系统，记录共享成为可能。目前，CMIS服务全港16间诊所。在医院管理局、本地大学及本地非政府机构的三方合作协议下，两间新的中医培训及研究中心将于2013-2015年期间成立。最终总共将有18艘cmctr。在全港各区设有一间医疗中心，为未来以病人为中心的电子健康档案(eHR)铺路。
