Abstract

Objective To build a comprehensive information system of radiological health in Shanghai and provide basic data for prevention and control of radiation hazards factors. Methods A management information platform of radiological health suitable for Shanghai was constructed by sorting out the historical archives and records, combining with content of current work, and using the information platform in China for reference. All Institutions are responsible for the collection and input of the data generated in the work, and the system judges the nature of the data according to the rules, and then completes the interactive analysis of the data with the municipal platform according to the standards, which forms the three-level platform management mode of the city, districts and medical institutions. Results Data module platform covering health records, environmental monitoring, business warning and statistical reports was built in one year since its preliminary inception in 2014. In the beginning there were only 468 usersof institutions, and by the end of 2018, about 1 241 users were active. Nearly 300 000 pieces of data were collected. Conclusions The construction of comprehensive management information platform of radiological health in Shanghai promotes the standardization and effectiveness of radiological health information management, provides a monitoring model for sustainable long-term development, and provides basic data for further policy management or decision-making.
