Construction and application of national radiological health information platform

Abstract

Objective To construct a national radiological health information platform, in order to collect and analyze radiological health monitoring and survey data, so as to improve data utilization and ensuring technology support to radiological health. Methods In accordance with China′s relevant laws, regulations and regulations, a national radiological health information platform was designed, developed and operated in response to the needs of radiological health monitoring, scientific research and management. Results The system was initially established in 2015, consisting of five business modules: medical radiation protection, personal dose, occupational health, food radioactivity monitoring and occupational radiological disease reporting. In the past 4 years, the system has been running normally and 5 business databases have been established. More than 8 million data of monitoring and survey have been collected. More than 1 400 terminal users have good experiences and frequent interactions. Conclusions The successful construction of the national radiological health information platform not only promotes and standardizes the network direct reporting of radiological health monitoring and investigation business data, but also provides analytical and utilization tools for technical institutions/personnel on radiological health, and gradually becomes an important scientific basis and database for the development of radiological health laws, regulations and standards in China as well as for national health service.
