Description
Summary:Fujitsu has been providing electronic medical record (EMR) solutions to medical institutions for many years. Now, with the increasing penetration of EMR systems, there is a growing desire to apply the data accumulated from medical consultations and examinations to diagnosis support and to link EMR data with tasks performed in clinical trials and clinical research. Specifically, there are expectations of using information and communications technology (ICT) in trials and research centered about large medical institutions such as university hospitals, of incorporating genome information management in research conducted by faculties of medicine in universities, and of feeding back knowledge so gained to medical practitioners. To enable the practical application of EMR data accumulated over many years, Fujitsu is offering new solutions and working to create new lines of business based on those solutions. This paper describes Fujitsu's approach to next-generation EMR solutions and the use of ICT in linking them with clinical trials and clinical research. It also touches upon Fujitsu's approach to the future with a view to creating a personal health record (PHR) system.
