It was reported that the HKSAR Government attached great importance to medical research. In recent years, the HKSAR Government has taken different measures to coordinate the development of Medical Science in Hong Kong by strengthening medical data, promoting intelligence and electronic medicine.
Mr Chan affirmed that Hong Kong's medical services have reached world-class standards. In order to improve the level of clinical services in Hong Kong, the SAR government has been committed to establishing a clear regulatory framework in recent years. In November 2017, the Steering Committee on Genome Medicine was established to review the regulatory and ethical aspects of prenatal screening, disease management and genomics from a wide range of academics and related professional groups.
The formulation of product regulation by modifying the law is another measure to keep pace with the times. Chen Zhaoshi revealed that the SAR government will develop a clear legal framework for the management of high-risk cellular, organizational and genetic products to protect public health and promote the long-term development of innovative local medical products.
The integration of world-class medical standards into the field of innovation, in Chen's view, will significantly benefit clinical services. "Hong Kong's innovation and development have both outstanding talents and solid foundation." So she looks forward to Hong Kong's innovation prospects and introduces a number of smart medical measures in Hong Kong.
One of these is the electronic health record interchange system, which allows public and private health care providers to exchange patients'electronic health records to provide more coherent health care services with the consent of patients, with the participation of 860,000 citizens.
Chen Zhaoshi said that the Hospital Authority of the SAR Government will use the existing clinical management system to conduct large data analysis by the end of the year. The comprehensive electronic medical record system, which contains more than 10 million patient records, is one of the most advanced and successful systems in the world in terms of coverage, functionality and complexity.
In addition, supporting the development of mobile applications, testing artificial intelligence machines and other means to provide more precise medical devices to monitor diseases and enhance medical experience are the future direction of the SAR government's medical development pointed out by Chen Zhaoshi.
On the same day, the Expert Forum invited medical professors from the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong to review their medical research achievements in the past decades and look forward to future research projects.
In a speech, Vice-Dean of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Medical College, Luk Yuming, revealed that by mid-2020, the General will be the first fully electronic intelligent hospital in Hong Kong. Through advanced information technology, it will promote medical effectiveness, improve the efficiency of hospital operations, and train students in new models.
The smart hospital will have three main elements, including electronic medical records covering the full range of medical procedures, one-stop service platform to promote personal medical records sharing and use of the Internet of Things to improve efficiency.
Liang Cher-er, deputy dean of the Li Ka-shing School of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong, talked about the future plans of the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong to share new medical scientific achievements with the Bay Area, including the introduction of new technologies such as artificial conception, liver transplantation, tumor treatment, and advanced orthopedic instruments.
Mr. Lu agrees, but he suggests that future Dawan cities should have uniform rules to protect research patents, given the importance of medical research patents.
