Abstract

In recent years, under the medical law, regulations on the protection of patient information, such as standardization of electronic medical records, compatibility between medical records, and information supplementation, are becoming stricter. Therefore, it is the time when advanced technology that can prevent damage, such as hacking, during transfer of medical records is necessary, so that strictly-restricted patient information can be encrypted and managed independently in a medical institution. In addition, the inefficiency of communication problems caused by the absence of a standardization system between dental clinics and dental hospitals and between dentistry and other medical institutions is improved through remote collaboration with patient consent, and the collaboration process using remote medical treatment will be established in the future to fulfill the requirement of an electronic treatment system. Therefore, it should be prioritized to determine what problems and improvement items are most required in the field using the survey results of electronic medical records, currently used in dental clinics and hospitals. Thus, content should be designed for the development of a standardized program for dental electronic medical records in the future.
