The new corona information system "HER-SYS" cannot be used for any time. Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare November 14, 5:37
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has introduced a system to check by health centers, etc. one after another from next week onwards due to the problem that errors in the data entered in the system "HER-SYS" that aggregates information on people infected with the new coronavirus were found one after another. I decided to go.
On the other hand, there is no prospect of when the system can be used to accurately analyze the infection status.
"HER-SYS" has been introduced to medical institutions nationwide since May for the purpose of promptly grasping the infection situation nationwide.
We are asking medical institutions to enter data on infected persons, but we have found errors in the entered data one after another, and we are still unable to accurately analyze the infection status in Japan.
At a study meeting held on the 13th, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reported that the system had been modified to detect obvious errors in the data, and then checked the data with the health center and the local health research institute for errors. We have announced a policy to notify you sequentially from the 16th of this month.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the experts who attended pointed out that "we should prepare to publish the data as soon as possible", but there is no prospect of when it can be used for accurate analysis.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare hopes to ask more medical institutions to enter the data and to make it publicly available.
