Member of the Party Central Committee, Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan chaired a working meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Finance to discuss solutions and policies for public-private investment cooperation to promote the nationwide replication of the Health Sector Data Coordination System.
Information at the meeting showed that from February 6, 2025 to November 15, 2025, the Ministry of Health coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security - chaired by the Department of Administrative Police for Social Order (C06) to pilot the Medical Data Coordination System at Bach Mai Hospital with medical facilities in Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen, Cho Ray Hospital with medical facilities in Binh Duong, An Giang.
The system is operated to ensure that it meets the requirements of infrastructure, data, security, and resources. In particular, a software system for coordinating health sector data has been deployed to connect medical examination and treatment facilities to send medical records, referrals, re-examination appointments, and look up information on medical records, electronic health books, information tables, and data reports participating in the system. (Providing tools to support medical examination and treatment facilities in uploading data and digitally signing medical records to the system).
Regarding medical examination and treatment facilities, the level of information sharing and exploitation has been achieved: "Electronic health books, Electronic medical records, Electronic prescriptions, Referral papers, and Re-examination appointment papers".
Data is digitally signed at the medical examination and treatment facility before sharing. The data sharing and exploitation portal is published at https://Gmedical.bocongan.gov.vn. Citizens agree to confirm data sharing via the VneID application to ensure legal compliance with Decree 13/2023/ND-CP on personal data protection.
Representative of the Ministry of Health reported on the progress of implementing the Health Sector Data Coordination System.
Currently, there are 412 medical examination and treatment facilities connected to the system, including 02 central hospitals, 12 large provincial hospitals and many regional and commune hospitals and medical centers. The functional unit synchronizes more than 4,873,804 health records, 169,742 referral records, 521,729 data searches, and 2,012,794 connected prescriptions.
Close involvement of relevant units is required.
At the working session, representatives of the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order (C06), Ministry of Public Security; Vietnam Social Security under the Ministry of Finance, Departments, Divisions, and the National Health Information Center under the Ministry of Health clearly stated each group of fields that are bottlenecks that need to be removed, and analyzed in detail solutions to promote progress.
Some technical problems were raised by delegates, such as large data, network congestion; medical examination and treatment facilities cannot check whether the data has been successfully/unsuccessfully connected; there is no management and information lookup system, the number of records of the units cannot be displayed on the Department's account interface; difficulties when patients go to the hospital or emergency room without bringing their Citizen ID card, the data cannot be connected; and the patient information transferred to the portal cannot be looked up immediately.
Colonel Vu Van Tan - Director of Department C06, Ministry of Public Security spoke.
Medical examination and treatment facilities must currently transfer data to two separate systems at the same time, including: the Social Insurance Health Insurance appraisal data reception portal system to transfer to the VneID platform and the medical coordination system.
This situation leads to data duplication, increases technology infrastructure and resource costs, and overloads system management and operations.
Many solutions were proposed at the meeting. For example, up to now, the Ministry of Public Security has established 26 million electronic health books. The Ministry of Health needs to resolutely request medical examination and treatment facilities in the entire industry to reuse electronic health books; 500 hospitals have used electronic devices "Smart medical kiosks" according to Project 06, it is necessary to continue to promote and replicate in medical facilities; Exploit existing data sources of Social Insurance to achieve high consistency; Identify a specific list of key information fields to prioritize implementation
Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Tri Thuc also analyzed the causes of the problem, which requires close participation of relevant parties. It is necessary to regularly organize technical meetings between C06, the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management, the Department of Health Insurance, Vietnam Social Insurance, and the National Health Information Center to evaluate and promote tasks, implement cooperation policies for the Health Data Coordination System, and expand it nationwide, ensuring compliance with regulations.
