Abstract

EMR(Electronic Medical Record) is an information system at the “medical institution level” that digitizes existing medical records such as patient diagnosis, prescription, and examination and is attracting attention as a core infrastructure in terms of data utilization, administrative efficiency, and medical quality improvement. Nevertheless, in Korea, EMR development and maintenance costs are not classified as a health insurance fee schedule and are not directly compensated by fees. In this case, the medical institution is reluctant to invest in introducing the EMR system and may maintain the minimum cost or give up the investment in some cases. Hence, this study aimed to develop an appropriate compensation fee with the goal of providing financial incentives for medical institutions to use certified EMR to produce necessary information to promote public health and improve the value of health care. In June 2020, 9 EMR suppliers were surveyed for development and certification costs, and 38 medical institutions were surveyed for EMR system maintenance costs and EMR certification management fee were developed. In the case of direct support for the EMR system with the establishment of a fee, the introduction of certified EMR will enable the exchange of medical information by creating standardized medical data. Furthermore, the quality and efficiency(cost) are expected to support the achievement of accessibility goals and value creation of information
