Introduction

 The role of the section of the Medical Information Management is the management of medical records of hospitals by professional medical information management officers.

The Team and What We Do

 The following members were listed as the committee of medical information management.

Routine activities

1. Auditing Discharge Summary (quantitative inspection)

 Data on discharge summaries should be entered and approved by the attending physician.Approved discharge summaries within two weeks after patient's discharge should be held over 95%. We inspected and checked the summaries and, where required, gave some advice for correct input.

2. Maintenance of disease codes based on ICD-10

3. Analysis of medical contents on DPC (Diagnostic Procedure Combination) and recommendation for efficiency.

Future prospects

 Our goal is to make recommendations and proposals for good and effective medical care based on DPC data. Each clinical department has held an annual "DPC round" to ensure quality control and quality assurance for each medical practice.
