Infected person information gathering system To operation actual condition survey Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare August 27, 4:10
It is a system introduced by the government for the purpose of reducing the burden on public health centers. It is a system that aggregates information on infected persons of the new coronavirus. It was found that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare embarked on a fact-finding survey.
Since May this year, the government has been promoting the introduction of a system "HER-SYS" that collects information on infected persons of the new coronavirus, and is being used by almost all local governments that have health centers.
In the conventional system, the public health center inputs data after receiving a report from a medical institution, but in order to reduce the burden on the public health center in “HER-SYS”, the government requires the medical institution to directly input the data. I came.
However, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, it is reported that some health centers still enter faxes sent by medical institutions instead.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has embarked on a fact-finding survey, saying that it may not be operating as planned.
I would like to ask local governments and medical institutions all over the country how they are doing the input work in a questionnaire, listen to improvements and requests, and then compile the aggregated results in the beginning of next month.
With regard to "HER-SYS," the problem that the country cannot grasp data such as "onset date" that is important for analyzing the infection situation has become clear because the aggregation function is still unavailable.
