Abstract

The Electronic Medical Record(: EMR) is to store medical data not in the form of document, but in the data storage. Such EMR can not only solve various problems of document use such as storage/arrangement of and securing space for document, but also make it possible to provide customized-treatment based on large quantity of customer data, so that hospitals can reduce the management cost and also improve the work efficiency. Customers also can receive the great quality of medical service. Owing to such strengths, the EMR has been rapidly introduced and applied to many hospitals and clinics since 1990s. In case of the current health screening system, however, paper forms used for health screening is also stored, on top of EMR. There would be various reasons why it is stored in the form of document. While the EMR used in hospitals is comprised of a unit program performing medical record, the health screening system is comprised of a unit program performing logics related to health screening. For this reason, it might be unavoidable for the health screening system to store document forms. If the EMR function is applied to the health screening system, it is expected to be able to operate more efficient health screening solution.

EMR(전자의무기록)이란 일반적으로 진료정보를 서면이 아닌 데이터 저장장치에 저장하는 것을 말한다. 이러한 EMR은 서면작성 시 문제점이던 서류보관, 배열, 공간확보등의 문제를 해결할 수 있고, 고객에 대한 다량의 정보를 이용하여 맞춤형 진료를 가능하게 하여 병원측에는 관리비용의 감소 및 업무 효율성 증대를 가져온다. 또한 고객의 입장에서는 양질의 의료서비스를 제공받을 수 있다. 이러한 장점 때문에 1990년대 이후 각 병원 및 의원에서 EMR이 급속도로 도입되며 현재 활용되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 사용중인 건강검진 시스템의 경우 EMR과 별도로 건강검진에 사용되는 서식지를 서면으로 작성하여 보관하고 있다. 서면으로 보관하는 이유는 여러가지가 있을 수 있으나, 병원에서 사용중인 EMR은 진료기록만을, 건강검진 시스템은 건강검진과 관련된 로직만을 수행하는 각각의 단위프로그램(unit program)으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 이유로 건강검진 시스템에서 서면보관이 불가피 하였던 것으로 판단되며 이를 해소하기 위해 건강검진시스템에 EMR 기능을 적용하여 보다 효율적인 건강검진 솔루션 운영이 가능하게 될 것으로 기대한다.
