Shenzhen to link ATM card with health record

Cash may be not necessary anymore when you visit a hospital and pay for the bill, if you have ATM card on hand. With this technique, hospitals' physicians may load relative medical records from central servers after they swipe a patient's bank card. Lin Dernan, head of Shenzhen Medical Information Centre ( SMIC ), told the reporter that some public hospitals will try this in the following September.

It is designed for citizens have no medical insurance, which means only when he or she has visited a public hospital somewhere, sometime, and the patient has medical information recorded in the specific HIS, then a doctor is able to help visitors to read their medical histories in a easy way.

For medical data will not be wrote in any ATM cards, special hardware and software must be designed and delivered to make sure health privacy encrypted well enough. If a visitor drops his ATM card accidentally, no one can duplicate the medical records.

In 2008, about 40 thousand maternal privacy were leaked and sales from infant milk companies kept harassing some of these ladies. Some other infant products agencies did it also. Health Authority , Population and Family Authority as well denied any staffs did so, although it was reported widely in China. They find nobody guilty for this event until now.

Shenzhen Health Bureau was combined with Shenzhen Population and Family Planning Bureau in 2009, according to the administration reform by the government.
