The 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration stated the importance of primary health care to achieving health for all, and that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The development of Taiwan community health care system started from the regional medical network, the group practice center in public health station, and integrated delivery system (IDS) in rural area. After the great earthquake on Sep 21, 1999, personal health record (PHR) prototype in an integrated community health care information system was developed as a part of the community medical group and family doctor system. In recent years, Taiwan’s national health information network has grown from 2008 National Health Informatics Project (NHIP) to 2013 Taiwan Healthy Cloud Project with the PHR as core contents for cloud computing and big health data. All personal health records of the public sector can be retrieved during clinical visit and downloaded from health bank for personal health management to realize the slogan of returning health information to the people. In this accelerated aging society in the 21st century, how to integrate health care and long term care services in Taiwan has become the most important issue for the current health and welfare policy in response to the increase in medical costs and the lack of care manpower. In 2010 the PHR Working Group of the Medical Informatics Committee of the Taiwan Family Medical Association released the PHR guidelines. In 2016, it developed a multi-dimensional PHR content structure including four aspects of preventive medicine’s 4 stages 7 levels, health care continuity, holistic health care, and assisted living. Based on this structure and collaborated with the Puli Christian Hospital and Quixotic Foundation, an information system cloud integrated with healthcare and long term care was implemented with a mobile application (App) for personal health management in the community. For future prospect, in 2018, the Ministry of Health and Welfare started new regulation for diagnosis and treatment via telecommunication and greatly loosened the telemedicine and telehealth services for community primary health care, long-term care and continuous care of family doctors, which will help build a seamless community holistic health care system to protect the health of all the people in Taiwan. |
