Save about 1,150 billion VND/year on buying medical records

Implementing Project 06 and implementing the Prime Minister's conclusion, the Ministry of Public Security has coordinated with the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health, Vietnam Social Security, and local People's Committees to prepare legal conditions, technology infrastructure, data, and resources to deploy the Electronic Health Book and issue Criminal Records on VNeID.

Up to now, the Ministry of Health has created over 98% of the Electronic Health Book data for people, with 32,062,931 data, of which 14,638,905 citizens have integrated the Electronic Health Book on VNeID with 12,518/12,693 health insurance examination and treatment facilities and synchronized through Vietnam Social Security to integrate into VNeID.

The Ministry of Public Security, in coordination with the Vietnam Social Security and the Ministry of Health, has created and integrated 911,696 data on referral papers and 2,629,117 data on re-examination appointment papers on VNeID, ready to be announced nationwide.

The implementation of the Electronic Health Book will help people monitor their health status, use referral papers, and re-examination appointment papers through the VNeID application easily and conveniently, without incurring costs for the same examination content even if not in the same hospital. Every year, it is estimated that about 1,150 billion VND will be saved on purchasing medical records for 230 million people.

For hospitals, when data is connected between medical examination and treatment facilities, it will save time and costs, as well as help serve accurate and effective diagnosis in medical examination and treatment, avoiding waste.

State management agencies can analyze people's health data to compile statistics, synthesize, forecast, and develop state management policies and policies to strengthen and protect people's health.

After more than 4 months of pilot implementation of issuing Criminal Records in Hanoi and Thua Thien Hue, initial results have been remarkable, bringing convenience and receiving enthusiastic support from the people.

Hanoi received more than 45,000 applications, Thua Thien Hue received more than 5,000 applications for issuance of Criminal Records on VNeID. It is estimated that issuing Criminal Records on VNeID will help save about 400 billion VND per year for the people and society.

To expand the implementation nationwide, up to now, in terms of infrastructure and data, local ministries and branches have proactively reviewed to deploy the issuance of Criminal Records on VNeID.

At the conference, leaders of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Justice, and the Vietnam Social Security spoke; leaders of provinces and cities expressed their commitment to expanding the pilot implementation of the Electronic Health Book and issuing Criminal Records via VNeID.

Implement "5 promotes, 5 ensures"

Concluding the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh summarized the achievements in digital transformation; emphasized the initial results in the pilot implementation of the Electronic Health Book, issuance of Judicial Records and lessons learned, and limitations that need to be overcome.

In the coming time, the Prime Minister emphasized that the guiding ideology is "only discuss doing, not retreating"; doing, learning from experience, not being perfectionist, not being hasty; high determination, great effort, drastic action, focused implementation, clear assignment and decentralization of people and work...

Data must be connected to the National Population Data Center.

Infrastructure must be smooth; governance and people must be smart, all for the sake of caring for life, health, and lives, and putting people's interests first and foremost; avoiding waste, dispersion, and division.
