Medical information sharing system in the event of a disaster cannot be used Saga University spends 300 million yen on maintenance October 8 7:03
An information sharing system developed by Saga University for about 300 million yen in order to quickly share information such as the number of patients and hospitalization status in various parts of Kyushu in the event of a large-scale disaster such as a huge Nankai Trough earthquake A survey by the Board of Audit found that it was in an unusable state.
In 2013, the Saga University School of Medicine established a system for sharing information such as the number of patients and hospitalization status at affiliated hospitals, in collaboration with the medical schools of six other national universities in Kyushu, at a cost of approximately 300 million yen. ..
Using this system, it is assumed that it will be possible to predict how much medical system will be needed in various parts of Kyushu in the event of a large-scale disaster such as a huge Nankai Trough earthquake, and Saga University will also provide such information. It was expected to play a role in coordinating support measures.
However, when the Board of Audit investigated, it was found that even after the system was introduced, the necessary information was not entered from other universities and it was in a state where it could not be used in the event of a disaster.
It means that no adjustments were made to reflect the medical record and drug data in the system and centrally manage it.
There is no prospect that the system will be used, and the Board of Audit is planning to ask Saga University to prevent recurrence because it was an inappropriate expenditure.
In response to the interview, Saga University said, "At this stage, I cannot answer about the inspection of the Board of Audit. I would like to clarify it at the right time."
