Keynote Speech I
Taking the example of medical service, Minister
Chang used the example of the medical service in
Taiwan. Using the mainframes with distributed data
terminal, patient’s medical record can be accessible
in all internal computers within the hospital that
provided the service to the patient. When the
patient switched to another hospital for a medical
service, his data will not be accessible by the
other hospital, causing the inconvenience on both
the patients and the service provider. However,
when the patient’s data is stored using the Cloud
Computing system, the patient’s medical record
will be available in any hospitals in Taiwan in realtime fashion, reducing the operating time and cost,
thus increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of
medical service.
